GitHub Copilot Configuration Guide

After configuration, you can directly operate CloudBase services in VS Code's Copilot Chat.

For example:

  • "Create user table" - AI automatically creates database collection
  • "Deploy this function" - AI automatically uploads and configures cloud function
  • "Deploy frontend to CDN" - AI automatically uploads files and configures hosting

No need to switch to cloud console, all operations can be completed in Copilot Chat using natural language.
