Full-Context awareness in a Git repository or Folder

[Hexdigest123]

Hi, I wanted to ask if there's a plan for implementing full-context awareness in Git repositories or in general, projects opened in Neovim. Currently, I only find the option to choose between a single buffer or multiple buffers. If this is not currently possible, is it possible to customize the context for Copilot?

I would also love this! 🙌

TLDR: not yet.

I dont event get my whole project/dir (or rather, not even "all open buffers" as documented) as context when using @buffers...only 2 or 3 of my open buffers max. Is this the norm, or am I doing something wrong? How much context do you guys get? It wouldn't be a big deal if context was limited, but 2-3 random buffers is nothing.

#495

For now this was added, that should help AI to at least figure out structure of the project

Also very late reply, but we use github embeddings queries to determine if something should be included in context or not. and this is based on your prompt query so sometimes it can just ditch less relevant files. Also it depends on maximum token limit, but for example claude can handle a lot of data.

Ok this is now mostly implemented with files:full context, feel free to try :) There is no caching atm so it only works well for small to mid sized repositories, but its usable. For rest see #628
