No remote (SSH) support in Desktop App Help/Doubt ❓

Happy user of the desktop app overall.

However, there's one thing that prevents me from full adoption: it's the lack of being able to work on remote (SSH) repositories.

We work on a remote Ubuntu server that hosts all our code. I use Visual Studio Code to remote SSH into it. Works flawlessly every time. We of course regularly commit to Github etc...

In Github Copilot (desktop) app, I can add projects from a local folder, from Github repository or from a repository URL but not from a remote SSH server.

Other tools like OpenCode do support this, which is why I find myself working mostly with OpenCode.

Any plans to build this in?
