Copilot Memory has more controls for deletion, scope, and the Copilot CLI

GitHub has expanded Copilot Memory controls with improved deletion guidance, a repository-level off switch, and new `/memory` commands in the Copilot CLI. Repository admins can now disable memory for a repository from settings, while users can manage or delete their stored preferences. The update, available in public preview to all paid Copilot plans, gives teams more granular control over how Copilot retains and uses information.

Improvement Copilot Memory has more controls for deletion, scope, and the Copilot CLI Copilot Memory now includes improved memory deletion, adds a repository-level off switch, and brings further memory controls into the Copilot CLI. Copilot Memory is in public preview and available to all paid Copilot plans. What’s changing whats-changing Deletion guidance: When you ask Copilot to forget something, it now points you to the right place to remove the memory and down-votes the memory where voting is available. Repository-level off switch: Repository admins can now disable Copilot Memory for a repository from the existing Copilot feature controls in repository settings. Repository-level facts will no longer be stored or read. Preexisting facts are not deleted. User-level preferences are unaffected.Use /memory command in the Copilot CLI: /memory on to enable Copilot Memory, /memory off to disable it, and /memory show to check its current status. Your choice persists across sessions. Clearer scope at capture time: The store memory permission prompt now explicitly states whether the entry will be a user-level preference i.e., visible only to you, used in your sessions across repositories or a repository-level fact i.e., visible to all contributors on the repository .
