Plugins package related customizations so you can install them together. For an overview, see Complementos para GitHub Copilot.

To browse and install plugins in Visual Studio Code:

  1. Open Customize from the Chat side panel or Agents window.
  2. On the Browse page, search for a plugin, then select Install.

You can also open Browse in Visual Studio Code.

To add a marketplace and browse its plugins:

  1. Run Chat: Manage Plugin Marketplaces from the Command Palette.
  2. Select Add Marketplace..., then enter the marketplace source.
  3. Open Customize, search for a plugin from the marketplace, then select Install.

For instructions on creating and publishing a GitHub-hosted marketplace, see Creating and sharing a plugin marketplace on GitHub.

Install a plugin from a source

You can install a plugin directly from a Git repository or local folder without adding its marketplace.

  1. Run Chat: Install Plugin from Source from the Command Palette.
  2. Enter the repository or local folder path.

Turn off a plugin

You can turn off an installed plugin, including one enabled by repository defaults.

  1. Open Customize from the Chat side panel or Agents window.
  2. Select Plugins.
  3. In the list of installed plugins, turn off the toggle next to the plugin. To turn the plugin back on, turn on the toggle.

If the toggle is unavailable, enterprise managed settings require or block the plugin, and it appears as managed by policy. You cannot change it.
