I am interested in using GitHub Copilot to help generate commit messages for my project. I have heard that it can provide suggestions based on specific commit message instructions. However, I am not sure how to set this up and use it effectively.

I tried the following steps based on some instructions I found:

Opened the Source Control view in VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+G or Cmd+Shift+G on macOS). Staged my changes. In the commit message input box, I started typing my commit message. I was expecting GitHub Copilot to provide suggestions based on the commit message instructions provided in my repository. However, I am not sure if I have set it up correctly or if there are additional steps I need to follow.

Could someone guide me on how to configure GitHub Copilot to generate commit messages following this format? Additionally, what are the best practices for using GitHub Copilot for this purpose?

When Copilot Chat is installed you will have a button as in the image. When clicking the button copilot will analyse the commit diffs and suggest a commit message.

I understand that there is a negative sentiment regarding copilot writing commit messages for the programmer. But in my humble experience I have noticed that commits are often better written and more complete than I would have written myself. Plus copilot learns from your previous commit messages and tries to match the style. This allows committing much more often which is a good thing in my opinion.
