Ollama Copilot

Proxy that allows you to use ollama as a copilot like Github copilot

Installation

Ollama

Ensure ollama is installed:

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

Or follow the manual install.

Models

To use the default model expected by ollama-copilot:

ollama pull codellama:code

DeepSeek

To use DeepSeek:

ollama-copilot -provider deepseek -token YOUR_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY -model deepseek-coder

Mistral

To use Mistral:

ollama-copilot -provider mistral -token YOUR_MISTRAL_API_KEY -model codestral-latest

Automatic Installation & Configuration

You can use the install.sh script to automate the build, installation, and configuration of ollama-copilot and your editors:

./install.sh

This script will:

1. Build the binary and install it to ~/.local/bin/ollama-copilot.
2. Optionally install and start a Systemd Service (allowing you to configure num-predict).
3. Automatically detect and offer to configure Neovim, VSCode, and Zed.

Manual Installation

Configure IDE (Manual)

Neovim

1. Install copilot.vim
2. Complete :Copilot signin before enabling the proxy
3. Configure variables
4. If you already enabled the proxy and sign-in is failing, remove the proxy settings, sign in first, and then enable them again

let g:copilot_proxy = 'http://localhost:11435'
let g:copilot_proxy_strict_ssl = v:false

VScode

1. Install copilot extension
2. Sign-in or sign-up in github
3. Configure open settings config and insert

{
    "github.copilot.advanced": {
        "debug.overrideProxyUrl": "http://localhost:11437"
    },
    "http.proxy": "http://localhost:11435",
    "http.proxyStrictSSL": false
}

Zed

1. Open settings (ctrl + ,)
2. Set up edit completion proxying:

{
    "features": {
        "edit_prediction_provider": "copilot"
    },
    "show_completions_on_input": true,
    "edit_predictions": {
        "copilot": {
            "proxy": "http://localhost:11435",
            "proxy_no_verify": true
        }
    }
}

PyCharm / JetBrains

1. Open Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S)
2. Navigate to Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy
3. Select Manual proxy configuration:
   • HTTP
   • Host name: localhost
   • Port number: 11435
4. Navigate to Tools > Server Certificates
5. Check Accept non-trusted certificates automatically
6. Restart PyCharm

Emacs

(experimental)

1. Install copilot-emacs
2. Configure the proxy

(use-package copilot
  :straight (:host github :repo "copilot-emacs/copilot.el" :files ("*.el"))  ;; if you don't use "straight", install otherwise
  :ensure t
  ;; :hook (prog-mode . copilot-mode)
  :bind (
         ("C-<tab>" . copilot-accept-completion)
         )
  :config
  (setq copilot-network-proxy '(:host "127.0.0.1" :port 11434 :rejectUnauthorized :json-false))
  )

Roadmap

• Enable completions APIs usage; fill in the middle.
• Enable flexible configuration model (Currently only supported llamacode:code).
• Create self-installing functionality.
• Auto-configure IDEs (Neovim, VSCode, Zed).
• Documentation on how to use.
• Windows setup
