copilotexport

Export all of your VS Code GitHub Copilot Chat conversations — including full tool-call history — to JSON and Markdown. Mirrors the layout of ChatGPT and Claude exports.

Installation

pip install copilotexport

Usage

CLI

# Export everything to ./_copilot/ and create CopilotExport.zip
copilotexport

# Custom source and output
copilotexport --src /path/to/Code/User/workspaceStorage --out ~/my-export

# Skip Markdown rendering (index + raw JSON only, much faster)
copilotexport --no-markdown

# Skip the zip file
copilotexport --no-zip

# Skip copying raw VS Code JSON (markdown + index only)
copilotexport --no-raw

Python API

from copilotexport import export, default_workspace_storage
from pathlib import Path

summary = export(
    src=default_workspace_storage(),
    out=Path("_copilot"),
    write_markdown=True,
    make_zip=True,
    copy_raw=True,
)
print(summary)

Output layout

_copilot/
├── export_info.json                         # run summary
├── index.json                               # flat metadata for all sessions
├── workspaces.json                          # wsHash → folder URI map
├── sessions/
│   └── <workspace_label>/
│       └── <sessionId>.json                 # verbatim VS Code session file
└── markdown/
    └── <workspace_label>/
        └── <YYYY-MM-DD>_<title>_<id8>.md   # human-readable transcript

Each Markdown transcript includes:

• Session metadata (title, session ID, timestamps, model, agent)
• User messages
• Assistant responses with prose rendered inline
• Tool calls rendered as structured blocks showing the tool name, request summary, result summary, and any file paths touched
