Problem: cannot use GitHub CoPilot in ssh remote sessions.

Solution: add this to .vscode/settings.json (e.g. on the remote server)

"remote.extensionKind": {
        "GitHub.copilot": [
            "ui"
        ],
        "GitHub.copilot-chat": [
            "ui"

Make sure the git command runs successfully in Command Prompt. It needs to be in the PATH env var.

Update the file profile.json: open Settings by pressing Ctrl+, in Windows Terminal, click on Open JSON file in the sidebar, and add following snippet inside the word profiles:

        { 
            "tabTitle": "Git Bash",
            "acrylicOpacity" : 0.75, 
            "closeOnExit" : true,

	sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
	sudo apt install python3.10
	sudo apt install python3.10-venv

	# You can then use Python interpreter /bin/python3.10

	# Make sure set environment variables [example values in brackets]:
	# JF_URL [https://internalurl or https://external-art-url.example.com]
	# AND EITHER
	# (a) user and password
	# JF_USER [my-user-name]
	# JF_PASSWORD [MySuperSecretPassword]
	# (b)
	# JF_ACCESS_TOKEN [my.access-t0ken]

	# May also need to download the artifactory certificate to $home/.jfrog/security/certs

	# Enable matching history navigation in bash terminals
	# May need to pip install gnureadline first

	# Press up-arrow for previous matching command
	# Two bindings as different terminals use different escape chars
	bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward'
	bind '"\eOA": history-search-backward'

	# Press down-arrow for next matching command
	# Two bindings as different terminals use different escape chars

	function hello() {
	echo "Hello, $1!"
	}

	function checktimes {
	echo "Checking recent start and end times, please wait..."
	powershell -Command "& { Invoke-Expression (Get-Content -Raw '//NDATA12/hawkem$/My Documents/WindowsPowerShell/checktimes.txt') }"
	}

	alias gitt='git -c "http.https://github.com/.extraheader=$GH_AUTH"'

	# Examples
	powershell "[convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes(\"Your text goes here - keep the backslashes\"))"

	powershell "[convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes(\"password123\"))"

	powershell "[convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes(\"_secret!key?here@\"))"
