    Afaik, they only remove telemetry and branding. Although they are lagging behind a little, so this change didn’t reach vscodium: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/2823

        It’s part of the git extension, not github, according to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/310226 My understanding is that there is a separate extension for github: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/extensions/github Or do you need both for this co-authored thing?

        In any case, the point is that vscodium is still based on the same source code, and Microsoft can do anything with it.
