Copilot Memory

Copilot Memory is GitHub Copilot's repository-level memory layer. It lets Copilot learn durable facts about a codebase over time and reuse them across Copilot CLI, Copilot cloud agent, and Copilot code review.

Why This is Copilot-Exclusive

This is not the same thing as session history:

• cross-session-memory is your local CLI session history and artifacts
• Copilot Memory is repository-scoped memory that Copilot validates and reuses across products

Copilot Memory is unique because it spans multiple Copilot surfaces for the same repository and is managed through GitHub's Copilot settings and repository controls.
