How does that help if you don't go to the github site but just use git from the command line?

Can you use git's Copilot from the command line? If you can't, then you have nothing to opt out from.

It's not git's Copilot it's Microsoft, or at best github's, Copilot.

And Copilot is integrated with IDEs. Doesn't need any interaction with the github site beyond the initial sign in...

They also sent an email.

Did they? Not to me, and I have a 'review this new sign in' from 4 days ago so them emailing me works.

And even if you read the banner on the site, the email they sent, and the announcement itself, you would not see instructions that mention the specific thing(s) you must change in order to opt out.

Sure, you can poke around in the settings and find one that you believe opts you out, but in lieu of clear and explicit instructions from GitHub, you'll have no way to find out. Only the possibility of finding out later that you guessed wrong.

I've never seen the banner. Where does this show up?

It's been on top of the web UI for 2 or 3 days now.

You might have closed it...

Just go to your account settings and find the opt-out option.

Honestly there go months between me visiting github.com, let alone as a signed in user.

right up top. I'm not sure how anyone could miss it.

  $ git pull
  $ vim foo.rs
  $ git commit
  $ git push

That's how.

exactly this. I rarely need to go to the site.

Obviously you wouldn’t see it if you don’t go to the site so why ask?

I hadn't gone in the last 2-3 days. Not never.

Probably have to have adblockers turned off.

I have never seen any app reset/loose setting before.

What are you referring to? I set this to "Disabled" months/years ago and it's retained the disabled setting.

So? You guarantee that this setting is durable and will never revert? Or you guarantee that no client-side bug on that page will not override the setting with null value when you click save on something else? Please.

Nope, none of these are things I said or implied. I was asking whether you were referring to it having reset already.

The chip on your shoulder doesn't make for productive conversation here.
