What does Copilot Memory do?
Why D is the answer
It remembers facts about repositories and your coding preferences
Copilot Memory helps Copilot improve over time, in the way a developer learns a codebase.
In detail
- Copilot Memory remembers facts about repositories and your coding preferences.
- Memory can go stale, so review what it has stored.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
Copilot learns that a repository uses a particular test command, and it remembers that for later work.
