Pull Request Overview
This PR corrects the GitHub Copilot instructions file path to align with GitHub's official documentation. The previous path (.github/agents/copilot-instructions.md) was creating new files instead of updating existing ones, breaking compatibility with the documented standard location (.github/copilot-instructions.md).
- Updated the
COPILOT_FILEpath variable in both Bash and PowerShell scripts

Which VSCode version are you using? Maybe the docs haven't updated with the new 1.106 version that changed a few things |

I am using the latest version of VSCode Insiders right now Version: 1.107.0-insider Can you share a link if this is official? I have not heard about it, so I am curious if you know. The October release v1.106 does not mention it (tried searching for "agents/copilot-instructions.md" and "copilot-instructions.md") |
Not sure if this is an upcoming but undocumented change by GitHub, but my
copilot-instructions.mdare still in the.github/copilot-instructions.mdas documented here. Changing this to.github/agents/copilot-instructions.md, creates a new file, instead of updating the existing file when ran and breaks compatibility with official practices.
