My favourite way to work with Github CoPilot is to

1. Use VScode + Copilot for project files with MCP enabled to Hillnote.

2. Add the Hillnote workspace within your VScode project as reference or notes.

3. Sync the Workspace along with the project via Github.

4. Setup a Copilot Rule in settings to write all documents/.md files in <workspace folder name>/documents/copilotDocs

MCP connection

To enable the MCP connection to hillnote read the documents available at https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/provide-context/use-mcp/extend-copilot-chat-with-mcp

Readme rules

Save all documentation created in Copilot to Hillnote to keep your work organized and easy to find.

Simply add a Copilot Rule in settings to write all documents/.md files in <workspace folder name>/documents/copilotDocs

Open your workspace

You can navigate to the workspace folder - open the same in VScode. You can make changes, modify files and even create tools using Copilot.
