Github Copilot on Code Studio
Hi everyone ! I tried my best to find an answer to this and I'm sorry if it's a duplicated question. Is there some kind of workaround to get Github Copilot working on the code studios or a way to link local VS Code to the code-server ?

You can however use Dataiku’s AI Code Assistant to get a similar experience is VSCode in Code Studios. This would be done via the LLM mesh so you will have to have access to an LLM model like OpenAI.

@Turribeach is correct. VS Code in Code Studios plus AI Code Assistant is great alternative. One other option exists as well. You could use the VS Code extension for Dataiku. This extension allows you to connect to a Dataiku instance from your VS Code desktop environment.

At the moment, GitHub Copilot isn’t officially supported in Code Studio/code-server. The practical workaround is to use VS Code locally with Copilot enabled and connect it to your remote environment via SSH or Remote Tunnels. That way, you get full Copilot features in your editor while still working against Code Studio’s backend. Direct integration with code-server has some community hacks, but they aren’t stable or officially supported. Also worth noting, GitHub has even introduced a GitHub Copilot exam recently, which only works reliably in the standard VS Code setup — another reason why the local + remote approach is preferred.
