Persistent GitHub Authentication for Copilot in Coder VS Code Web
Hi Coder Team,
I'm using the Coder platform with the VS Code Web module and GitHub Copilot. Currently, every time I refresh the browser or open a new workspace, I'm prompted to log in to GitHub again to access Copilot. This is disruptive, especially when managing multiple personal workspaces.
Is there a way to persist the GitHub authentication across sessions and workspaces? Ideally, I’d like to either:
Save the authentication token so I don't need to log in repeatedly, or
Set up a preconfigured authentication as part of the workspace template so each new workspace is already authenticated.
Any guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
