GH Copilot only sees a handful of your files so it doesn’t truly know your codebase. Codepilot maintains a local Vector DB that’s per/branch that’s an index of your entire codebase. Every branch has its own Vector DB that’s an index of the current branch. It also uses a feature I call Document Sections to do a better job of showing code to the model. I have a bunch of other features coming that will make it far surpass the capabilities of Codepilot but it’s already pretty good.
