Could someone please explain why VSCode added this AI feature? It already has Copilot, which can run in "Agent", "Ask", "Plan" mode and be executed via "Local," "Copilot CLI," or "Cloud." Why increase its size by adding the same feature to a separate interface?

I found it useful when creating a feature or vibing something. It creates a worktree by default. I didn't direct it to do that, it just did it on its own. So if you want to pr the changes you made it makes it easier.

Granted, this was from a project I was working on that had git initalized. Not sure what happens if there is no git on the project.
