Your team is developing an Azure SQL dataset solution from a locally cloned GitHub repository...

GitHub documents that repository custom instructions for Copilot Chat can be disabled for your own use in the editor settings, and that doing so does not affect other users . In VS Code, this is controlled through settings related to instruction files, where you can disable the use of repository instruction files for your own environment.

The other options are incorrect:

B is not a documented mechanism for disabling repository-level Copilot instructions.

C would remove the repository instruction file itself and therefore affect everyone using that repository, which violates the requirement.
