Where can I find GitHub Copilot Chat History ?

Body

Hello.

I have been chatting with Copilot a couple of times today and I was wondering how to retrieve the chat (including suggested code snippets) from before but when I open the Threads dropdown I only see a "New Thread" selection.

When looking for it myself I only found answers related to MS Copilot or to where to find logs (which do not include code suggestions (and the format is not helpful anyway).
Unfortunately I am not able to provide any extra information about this issue and I can't find a solution.

Where can I find a copy of all my previous chats?
Thank you.

I was wondering the same.

My workaround for the time being is using the "Chat: Export Chat" command in VSCode in conjunction with the GitHub Copilot Chat extension.
Not ideal, but if the goal is to retain the answers offline this kind of works.

Still an issue.

Copilot answer:

GitHub Copilot does not store history for chat or agent mode interactions. Each suggestion is generated in real-time based on the current context of your code.
