help w/ installation?

[presmihaylov]

I have neither lazy vim or vim plug setup, and the manual installation instructions don't work.

When using cp, I get that --backup flag doesn't exist (I'm on mac) and if I omit it and follow rest of instructions I see this anytime I run a CopilotChat command:

I use pathogen but there are no instructions for it.

I guessed that you weren't calling the setup function.

If you are using a plugin manager other than the one mentioned in the README, try calling the setup function in your lua file as follows.

local copilot_chat = require("CopilotCaht")
copilot_chat.setup({})

Thanks, that did the trick!

Hi @preslavmihaylov
Could you try to call setup function? If that doesn't work, could you try to add the below to your config?

let g:copilot_chat_disable_separators = "no"
let g:copilot_chat_proxy = ""
lua _COPILOT_CHAT_GLOBAL_CONFIG = _COPILOT_CHAT_GLOBAL_CONFIG or {}
let g:copilot_chat_user_prompts = {
  Explain = 'Explain how it works.',
  Tests = 'Briefly explain how selected code works then generate unit tests.',
}
let g:copilot_chat_show_help = 'yes'
let copilot_chat_disable_separators = 'no'
let copilot_chat_hide_system_prompt = 'yes' 
let copilot_chat_language = ''
