Is the GitHub Copilot plugin for VSCode open source?

Hi,
I am working on a Python project and I wanted to implement GitHub copilot in order to perform some chat completion. I wasn't able to find any documentation on how to implement it, so I was wandering if the plugin for GitHub Copilot is open source, in order to see how the extension works and communicate. I would like to use GitHub copilot since it's free for academic use and is already implemented in VSCode.

Integrating GitHub Copilot into a into a Python project would require you to implement support for Copilot's API and communication protocols. However, GitHub has not made a public API for Copilot available.

This, unfortunately means you can not use Copilot in your Python project.

You can check if Hugging Face has an open source alternative you can use!
