Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue with VSCode and GitHub Copilot. When I try to use it, I can't seem to select a model, and there isn't any model selection menu available. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Copilot, but every time it reappears, it's like the same setup as before

Has anyone else faced something similar or knows how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Okay I found the fix, go to your Github Copilot Settings , if an organisation controls your access, reach out to them.

All the models were disabled by default, that's why the option was not available in the IDE

Enable the models you want in settings and restart your VS Code Editor, the settings should look like this image below after you've enabled them

I am having the same issue on linux. I am able to change to every model on windows but not on my Linux VM. There it is just simply GPT4

Have you solved it? I have the same problem. I found that even if it is only one computer, I can use the plug-in on idea to work properly.

I have the same thing, happened because of the update, if you roll back to version 1.334.0 everything is fine

does not work for me

I ran into this issue while setting up a new machine and fresh VSCode install. When I went to 'git commit' my changes I saw this message

`Author identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"`

So after running the 2 commands then reinstalling the copilot extension and restarting VSCode I was finally able to see models again.

Most of my models were enabled by default. But it wasn't working.

But a common fix for any Copilot settings issue:
Enabling one of the disabled models seems to have caused a sync which then made all the models available to me again
