Would it be possible to shield a folder from AI training by Bills bots ? I'm setting up a open source medical device/research project, and not everybody wil agree with their data being used for training.

Hi @cybernaut-neko ,

Are you using GitHub Copilot programming your project using AI? You may use and configure Content Exclusions to prevent specified files from being used to inform code completion suggestions made by GitHub Copilot.

After you configure content exclusion, the client (for example, the Copilot extension for VS Code) sends the current repository URL to the GitHub server so that the server can return the correct policy to the client. URLs sent to the server in this way are not logged anywhere.

For more details, see Configure Content Exclusions

Thanks!
