To configure GitHub Copilot to authenticate using a personal GitHub.com account instead of a GitHub Enterprise (GHE) account, you generally need to remove any GHE specific authentication settings and ensure you are signed in with your GitHub.com account in your IDE.
Here's a breakdown of how to achieve this in different IDEs:
1. VS Code:
Remove the authProvider setting:
1. Open your VS Code settings (File > Preferences > Settings or Code > Preferences > Settings on macOS).
2. Search for "copilot" and locate "GitHub > Copilot: Advanced".
3. Click on "Edit in settings.json".
4. Inside the github.copilot.advanced section, remove the line that specifies "authProvider": "github-enterprise".
5. Save the settings.json file.
6. Sign out and sign in with your GitHub.com account:
* Click on your account icon in the bottom left of VS Code.
* Sign out of any existing GitHub account.
* Sign in with your personal GitHub.com account.
2. JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, etc.):
Remove the Authentication Provider setting:
1. Open your IDE settings (File > Settings on Windows/Linux, or > Preferences on macOS).
2. Navigate to "Languages & Frameworks" > "GitHub Copilot".
3. Remove any value entered in the "Authentication Provider" field.
4. Click "OK" to save the changes.
Sign out and sign in with your GitHub.com account:
1. Go to Tools > GitHub Copilot > Logout from GitHub.
2. Go to Tools > GitHub Copilot > Login to GitHub.
3. Follow the prompts to sign in with your GitHub.com account.
3. Xcode:
Remove the Auth provider URL:
1. Open the "GitHub Copilot for Xcode" application.
2. Click the "Advanced" tab.
3. Remove any value in the "Auth provider URL" field.
Sign in with your GitHub.com account:
Follow the instructions in Signing in to GitHub Copilot within Xcode to sign in with your GitHub.com account.
