Authenticate with different accounts based on directory

[quulah]

Would there be a way to authenticate with a specific account based on directory?

The auth information is usually stored in ~/.config/github-copilot/hosts.json file.

Ref:

• where is the nickname from github saved? #120

You can potentially do this:

• Log in as account A, rename that file to hosts-A.json
• Log in as account B, rename that file to hosts-B.json

Now if you want to use account A, copy hosts-A.json to hosts.json. You get the idea.

But I'm not sure if it'll work if you're using multiple neovim instance at the same time. Maybe try it and see how it goes.

The copilot language server doesn't support this officially. So this is just a workaround.
