Copilot in VSCode -- Put Repo File Structure in Context Window?

Body

I am trying to get Copilot to make better recommendations for DevOps-related tasks. For CI/CD tasks in particular, the repo's file structure is critical, since kustomize overlays and helm templates exist in many places elsewhere in a repo. Copilot doesn't seem to be set up for this, and suggests I perform a sequence of multiple prompts everytime I want to do something basic.

This seem like a simple feature to build into the extension. Does it exist, and I just don't know how to modify the context window that the VScode extension sends to the LLM?

Editing now - It seems like people have already requested this feature, and nothing is being done about it.
