Maintenance

All edits to these files should be made in this repository only. Do not modify copies in downstream repositories directly.

GitHub Copilot Settings

HyperI uses Copilot Business which is exempt from GitHub's AI training data collection. The following org-level settings should be configured at https://github.com/organizations/hyperi-io/settings/copilot/policies:

Setting	Value	Reason
Suggestions matching public code	Block	Avoid inadvertently pulling in copyleft-licensed code
Content exclusion	See patterns below	Prevent Copilot from reading sensitive files

Recommended Content Exclusion Patterns

Add these at org level (Settings > Copilot > Content exclusion):

**/.env*
**/secrets/**
**/*.pem
**/*.key
**/*.p12
**/*.pfx
**/*.jks
**/*.keystore
**/credentials*
**/*secret*
**/*token*
**/vault/**
**/openvpn-profiles/**
**/.aws/**
**/.azure/**
**/.kube/config
**/terraform.tfstate*
**/terraform.tfvars*
**/*.auto.tfvars

Individual Opt-Out

Contributors using Copilot on personal (Free/Pro) plans should opt out of AI training at: https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

Disable: "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training"

This must be done before April 24, 2026 when GitHub's new TOS (Section J) takes effect.
