Is it possible to track the number of copilot prompts I asked?
It can either be a cumulative sum or just the number I asked inside my IDE (e.g. VS Code).
This would be useful for tracking one's own usage of copilot for any research work that involves comparing the performance of developers who use copilot and those who do not.

Thanks!

There is no built-in function in GitHub Copilot that directly tracks the number of prompts you asked. You can create a custom plugin for VS Code that monitors and logs the prompts. (Here's an idea for a new portfolio project that we can work on together if you'd like :) ) Alternatively, you can manually keep track of them.

Ok. BTW ChatGPT suggested the same :D However building a plugin is not an option ATM, I don't have enough time.
Is there a web page where statistics about the user usage are shown? Just wondering.

I haven't searched yet, but I can look into it on Google. What's your idea with these statistics? Do you mean which are the best prompts?

In principle, just having the number of prompts would be ok as a rough estimate of how one is relying on such a tool. Of course deeper analysis can be done by looking into the length of the prompts or by doing some keyword analysis... But that's much more complex.
