GitHub Copilot model providers for Hermes: `copilot` (the Copilot API with your Copilot subscription: GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok models, sign in with `hermes auth add copilot` or COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN) and `copilot-acp` (drives your installed GitHub Copilot CLI over ACP). Moved out of Hermes core; profiles that used Copilot get it installed automatically. A Hermes Labs plugin: built by Nous Research, not supported.

## Good to know before installing

Signs in with GitHub's device-code flow using the Copilot editor OAuth app, exchanges your GitHub token for a short-lived Copilot token at api.github.com and sends your prompts to api.githubcopilot.com (or models.github.ai); it calls GitHub only for profiles that chose Copilot, never runs `gh` or reads other tools' token files, and caches the exchanged token in <HERMES_HOME>/.copilot_jwt.json. copilot-acp runs your local `copilot` CLI.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install github-copilot
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable github-copilot
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
