Description
We use server-side editing with ISFS and use the _vscode web application as the virtualization of the .vscode subfolder. This works great and it makes it easy to share snippets.
We've recently rolled out Copilot. We'd like to have department-based and team-based instructions/skills to be shared among the developers. The default folder Copilot looks for is the .github subfolder. We currently include the .github subfolder by manual configuring the folder into the workspace.
Suggestion
Support a .github to _github virtualization mechanism. This will facilitate deployment of common instruction/skill files.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing .vscode-to-_vscode virtualization used with ISFS and server-side editing. The work is done when a .github folder is similarly exposed as _github, allowing Copilot instruction and skill files to be deployed without manually configuring the workspace.
