Repository navigation
Error from /login #64
Description
Describe the bug
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Currently, /login tries to connect with github.com. Instead, there should be an option to launch browser to login.
Proposed solution
The /login can have a new option e.g. /login --launch-chrome. With this new option, user can login using browser.
Example prompts or workflows
/login --launch-chrome
Additional context
Some companies don't allow accessing internet from CLI.

Aha, that sounds like a duplicate of #41.
Do you observe it working normally if you're not behind a corporate firewall?

I am using git bash on Windows. Also, I'm trying behind a corporate firewall.

Then you'll need to use a workaround like #41 (comment) in the meantime. Afaik Copilot doesn't have a proxy configuration and doesn't respect the proxy environment variables yet.
