Browse and manage GitHub Copilot's memory files with a native VS Code interface.
GitHub Copilot accumulates "memories" across conversations — recording your project context, coding preferences, architectural decisions, and other long-term information. These memories are stored locally as Markdown files, but there's no built-in interface to browse or manage them.
Copilot Memory Explorer fills that gap: it provides a native VS Code TreeView in the sidebar, letting you browse, search, and manage all Copilot memories in a two-level hierarchy: Session → Memory Entry.
