It's nearly impossible though to escape the flood of Copilot buttons creeping into every corner of Github (and other Microsoft products like VSCode). This looks like Microsoft aims for deep integration, not separation.
Incorrect. It's not mandated that you actually use it to write or correct code but it's impossible to remove it so you need to either get used to blocking out it's incessant suggestions and notifications or stop using GitHub.
Similarly, the newest MS Word has CoPilot that you "don't have to use" but you still have to put up with the "what would you like to write today?" prompt request at the start of every document or worse "You look like you're trying to write a...formal letter...here are some suggestions."
Can copilot be disabled entirely in a GitHub repo or organization? I may very well have missed those settings, but if nothing else they are well hidden.
