I'm a long-time GitHub Copilot subscriber, but I have also tested many alternatives, such as Cursor.

Recently, I tried using Claude Code with my GitHub Copilot subscription (via unofficial support through https://github.com/ericc-ch/copilot-api), and I found it to be quite good. However, in my opinion, the main difference comes down to your preferred workflow. As someone who works with Neovim, I find that a tool that works in the terminal is more appropriate for me.

Isn’t that usage a violation of ToS? In that repo there’s even an issue thread that mentions this. The way I rely on GitHub these days, losing my account would be far more than annoying.

That’s indeed a valid concern. I set a low rate limit for copilot-api, but I’m not sure if it’s enough.

I may stop my experiment if there is any risk of being banned.
