Can you please describe how you do this? I thought Github Copilot can only make changes to the currently open tab? It's been a few months since I've used it, and I've only used the Visual Studio version, which I think isn't as good as the Visual Studio Code version. Has Copilot already gotten to the point where you can tell it to make changes to an entire codebase?
I do go file by file, but I just copy and paste the same query into each. It also gives me a chance to do a quick review before moving on. It's still a manual process but it's a HELL of a lot faster than manually refactoring.
(I can't give too many more details though since I use proprietary software that isn't public facing)
