### Describe the bug
When opening the Copilot CLI outside of a git repository, the notice `No copilot-instructions.md found. Run /init to generate.` is misleading. it implies no instructions file was found at all, even when a global `~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md` exists and is being used.
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.49.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Create a global instructions file at `~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md`
2. Open Copilot CLI from a directory that is not a git repository
3. Observe the notice: `No copilot-instructions.md found. Run /init to generate.`
### Expected behavior
1. Create a global instructions file at `~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md`
2. Open Copilot CLI from a directory that is not a git repository
3. Observe the notice: `No repository-level copilot-instructions.md found. Run /init to generate.`
### Additional context
_No response_
Beitragsleitfaden
Rechercherichtung
Start by locating the Copilot CLI code that emits the “No copilot-instructions.md found” notice and review how it detects the global ~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md file outside a repository. Update the notice to distinguish a missing repository-level file, then verify the behavior using the reproduction steps in the issue.
