Are you trusting GitHub Copilot with your private code?


I'm curious how confident others feel about the code in a private repo not being leaked somehow by using copilot. Eg. by having it used as training data

I still assume that Copilot uses my private repositories as training data, with them taking some care to not make it obvious. The software house i'm working at actually took the whole thing seriously and is currently migrating to an internally hosted GitLab. Not sure what potential leak exactly scares the responsible team, but interestingly it looks like it makes GitHub lose some worried customers.
