copilot-more

copilot-more maximizes the value of your GitHub Copilot subscription by exposing models like Claude-3.7-Sonnet for use in agentic coding tools such as Cline, or any tool that supports bring-your-own-model setups. Unlike costly pay-as-you-go APIs, this approach lets you leverage these powerful models affordably.

The exposed models aren't limited to coding tasks—you can connect any AI client and customize parameters like temperature, context window length, and more.

Ethical Use

• Respect the GitHub Copilot terms of service.
• Minimize the use of the models for non-coding purposes.
• Be mindful of the risk of being banned by GitHub Copilot for misuse.

🏃‍♂️ How to Run

1. Get the refresh token

   A refresh token is used to get the access token. This token should never be shared with anyone :). You can get the refresh token by following the steps below:

   • Run the following command and note down the returned device_code and user_code.:

   # 01ab8ac9400c4e429b23 is the client_id for the VS Code
   curl https://github.com/login/device/code -X POST -d 'client_id=01ab8ac9400c4e429b23&scope=user:email'

   • Open https://github.com/login/device/ and enter the user_code.

   • Replace YOUR_DEVICE_CODE with the device_code obtained earlier and run:

   curl https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token -X POST -d 'client_id=01ab8ac9400c4e429b23&scope=user:email&device_code=YOUR_DEVICE_CODE&grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code'

   • Note down the access_token starting with gho_.

2. Install and run copilot_more

• Bare metal installation:

  git clone https://github.com/jjleng/copilot-more.git
  cd copilot-more
  # install dependencies
  poetry install
  # run the server. Replace gho_xxxxx with the refresh token you got in the previous step. Note, you can use any port number you want.
  REFRESH_TOKEN=gho_xxxxx poetry run uvicorn copilot_more.server:app --port 15432

• Docker Compose installation:

  git clone https://github.com/jjleng/copilot-more.git
  cd copilot-more
  # run the server. Ensure you either have the refresh token in the .env file or pass it as an environment variable.
  docker-compose up --build

3. Alternatively, use the refresh-token.sh script to automate the above.

✨ Magic Time

Now you can connect Cline or any other AI client to http://localhost:15432 and start coding with the power of GPT-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet without worrying about the cost. Note, the copilot-more manages the access token, you can use whatever string as API keys if Cline or the AI tools ask for one.

🚀 Cline Integration

1. Install Cline code --install-extension saoudrizwan.claude-dev
2. Open Cline and go to the settings
3. Set the following:
   • API Provider: OpenAI Compatible
   • API URL: http://localhost:15432
   • API Key: anyting
   • Model: gpt-4o, claude-3.7-sonnet, o1, o3-mini

🔍 Debugging

For troubleshooting integration issues, you can enable traffic logging to inspect the API requests and responses.

Traffic Logging

To enable logging, set the RECORD_TRAFFIC environment variable:

RECORD_TRAFFIC=true REFRESH_TOKEN=gho_xxxx poetry run uvicorn copilot_more.server:app --port 15432

All traffic will be logged to files in the current directory with the naming pattern: copilot_traffic_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.mitm

Attach this file when reporting issues.

Note: the Authorization header has ben redacted. So the refresh token won't be leaked.

🤔 Limitation

The GH Copilot models sit behind an API server that is not fully compatible with the OpenAI API. You cannot pass in a message like this:

    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "<task>\nreview the code\n</task>"
        },
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "<task>\nreview the code carefully\n</task>"
        }
      ]
    }

copilot-more takes care of this limitation by converting the message to a format that the GH Copilot API understands. However, without the type, we cannot leverage the models' vision capabilities, so that you cannot do screenshot analysis.
