Wow, so which license are you using which is compatible with all licenses used on GitHub?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that burden fall on the users of this product? If that end user uses the output in a new project.

I suppose OP likely has a responsibility to post a link to the license whenever chatting with that repo- but I don't believe his product would require special licensing itself- right?

Doesn't the GitHub copilot do the same? What are the advantages of this?

Free, no need to clone the repo and on the web.

That is exactly what GH Copilot does - if you're subscribed to it, it adds an AI conversation button to any Github repo you visit in the browser. There's no need to clone the repo. However it's not free obviously...

why do you want me to sign in via github?

Requesting read and write access to all repos public and private no less.

Just added the option to choose. You can now give less permissions and only access public repos :)

it actually is free - the in-web chat is part of free tier, and I'm not aware of any limits. in-IDE use does have limits
