Project Settings: Disable copilot for sensitive repos

[Morgandri1]

Summary: Add project setting to disable use of copilot / inline autocompletion to prevent sensitive projects being shared with LLMs.

Description

My company has a policy against using tools like github copilot which have full codebase read access. I'd love to be able to disable copilot in my folder specific settings, which as far as i can tell i cannot.

Any updates? in https://zed.dev/docs/assistant/configuration we can disable copilot features, but I can't see anything on specific folders.

Hey, I understand the use-case and think this is a reasonable request for working with sensitive repos. Is there a .vscode/settings.json or JetBrains equivalent for this?

Curious whether you would be looking for fine-grained controlled, e.g.

• disable_inline_completions
• disable_assistant

Or just a disable_ai or some such.

Hey there, not sure if theres a VSC or JB equivalent, i've only used Zed for the past year or so. The ideal setup for something like this would be a setting that disables sending any content to the agent instead of disables any incoming like disable_inline_completions does

There are project-level .zed/settings.json files, but I tested disable_ai there and it doesn't seem to work. I've made a new issue as a result:
