Describe the bug
When opening the Copilot CLI outside of a git repository, the notice No copilot-instructions.md found. Run /init to generate. is misleading. it implies no instructions file was found at all, even when a global ~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md exists and is being used.
Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.49.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Create a global instructions file at
~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md
- Open Copilot CLI from a directory that is not a git repository
- Observe the notice:
No copilot-instructions.md found. Run /init to generate.
Expected behavior
- Create a global instructions file at
~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md
- Open Copilot CLI from a directory that is not a git repository
- Observe the notice:
No repository-level copilot-instructions.md found. Run /init to generate.
