'main'); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: markdown }] }; } ); - src/lib/buttons.ts:92-95 (handler)The core handler logic: constructs the raw GitHub URL for the file and generates the Copilot-style install buttons markdown.
export function generateCopilotInstallButtonsFromGithub(kind: CopilotInstallKind, owner: string, repo: string, path: string, branch = 'main'): string { const raw = buildRawGithubUrl(owner, repo, branch, path); return generateCopilotInstallButtons(kind, raw); } - src/index.ts:171-177 (schema)Zod input schema definition for the tool parameters.
