Q: My VS Code doesn't show the Chat feature. What should I do?

A: Ensure that GitHub Copilot and the Chat extension are enabled. Go to Extensions, search for "GitHub Copilot Chat", and verify it's installed and enabled. You may also need to enable Editor preview features in your GitHub organization settings (Settings > Copilot > Policies > Editor preview features = Enabled).

Q: The magic link doesn't work. What's the alternative?

A: Use the VS Code Command Palette method: press Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux), type Chat: Install Plugin from Source, and enter the repository URL https://github.com/jfrog/vscode-plugin/. Alternatively, use the Marketplace method by adding the source to your settings.json file.

Q: How do I verify the JFrog plugin is installed?

A: Open the Extensions panel in VS Code (Cmd+Shift+X), search for jfrog, and confirm the JFrog plugin appears in your installed extensions list. Once installed, you can access JFrog MCP Registry capabilities in your VS Code assistant.
