Unlocking Copilot’s Full Potential: How I Built a Cross-Platform Chat History Exporter in Just 8 Hours
This is my submission for the GitHub Copilot Challenge : Transitions and Transformations What I Built copilot-chat-helper: A cross-platform desktop application designed to export and preserve GitHub Copilot Chat history. Why I Built It Live demo: GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code In a recent YouTube video, Cathy demonstrated how GitHub Copilot can respond in the user's native language. While this is a fantastic feature, it raises an important question: how can we easily share these chat conversations—often technical and detailed—with team members who primarily communicate in English? Additionally, when users interact with Copilot during project development, the chat history is saved within the project itself. However, once the project is deleted, these valuable conversations become inaccessible. Fortunately, since chat histories are stored locally, they can be retrieved and saved before deletion. This is where copilot-chat-helper comes in.
