- jmward01 8mo agoI've never seen the banner. Where does this show up?
- daveguy 8mo agoProbably have to have adblockers turned off.
- roegerle 8mo agoright up top. I'm not sure how anyone could miss it.
- dotancohen 8mo ago$ git pull $ vim foo.rs $ git commit $ git push That's how.
- arcanemachiner 8mo agoIt's been on top of the web UI for 2 or 3 days now. You might have closed it... Just go to your account settings and find the opt-out option.
- mrweasel 8mo agoHonestly there go months between me visiting github.com, let alone as a signed in user.
- nottorp 8mo agoHow does that help if you don't go to the github site but just use git from the command line?
- lkbm 8mo agoThey also sent an email.
- nottorp 8mo agoDid they? Not to me, and I have a 'review this new sign in' from 4 days ago so them emailing me works.
- fph 8mo agoCan you use git's Copilot from the command line? If you can't, then you have nothing to opt out from.
- nottorp 8mo agoIt's not git's Copilot it's Microsoft, or at best github's, Copilot. And Copilot is integrated with IDEs. Doesn't need any interaction with the github site beyond the initial sign in...
- _pdp_ 8mo agoI have never seen any app reset/loose setting before.
- lkbm 8mo agoWhat are you referring to? I set this to "Disabled" months/years ago and it's retained the disabled setting.
- _pdp_ 8mo agoSo? You guarantee that this setting is durable and will never revert? Or you guarantee that no client-side bug on that page will not override the setting with null value when you click save on something else? Please.
- lkbm 8mo agoNope, none of these are things I said or implied. I was asking whether you were referring to it having reset already. The chip on your shoulder doesn't make for productive conversation here.
- tomwheeler 8mo agoAnd even if you read the banner on the site, the email they sent, and the announcement itself, you would not see instructions that mention the specific thing(s) you must change in order to opt out. Sure, you can poke around in the settings and find one that you believe opts you out, but in lieu of clear and explicit instructions from GitHub, you'll have no way to find out. Only the possibility of finding out later that you guessed wrong.
