Here’s how to do it:

‍

Navigate to the GitHub Copilot icon.

Select 'Claude' from the list to power your chat sessions.
Type you prompt in the char bar.
Then, hit the airplane icon to submit.

📌 Why this matters

Switching to Claude gives you access to stronger reasoning capabilities and more nuanced code analysis compared to the default model. While GitHub Copilot excels at code completion, Claude brings superior context understanding for complex architectural decisions and debugging multi-step problems.

You're essentially combining GitHub's seamless IDE integration with Claude's advanced reasoning, creating a more powerful coding assistant that can handle both quick suggestions and deeper technical discussions without switching between different tools or interfaces.
