    Doesn't the GitHub Copilot extension come with VSCode by default? Does every VSCode install count as a GitHub Copilot install?

      As far as I know, the extension is not installed by default. Copilot is integrated into the IDE, but you still need to sign in to Github and enable it to use it, and I think only then does it count as an installation. (I might be wrong though, any Microsoft developers want to chime in?)

      Looking at my VS Code IDE (recently updated), I have Copilot integrated but it's not yet installed by default: https://ibb.co/rKd6tsxy

    Nice.

    Feature suggestion: Let users select the timeframe to display, similar to https://npmtrends.com/express
