+GitHub Copilot uses a device flow for authentication, so no API keys are required:
+
+1. Run [`goose configure`](#configure-provider-and-model) and select **GitHub Copilot**
+2. An eight-character code will be automatically copied to your clipboard
+3. A browser will open to GitHub's device activation page
