Possible to link GitHub Student account with access to Claude 3.5 in Cline?

[jesussmile]

I'm currently using Cline and was wondering if it's possible to link a GitHub Student Developer Pack account to gain access to Claude 3.5. Are there any existing integrations or plans to support this? If not, is there an alternative way to enable access through an educational license?

Would appreciate any insights. Thanks!

I don't know much about the Student Developer Pack, but from what I could tell it looks like you get normal GitHub Copilot, so all you need to do is setup Copilot and Copilot Chat as an extension in VS Code, log in so that they're connected to your GitHub account, then check the settings here to ensure Claude 3.5 Sonnet is enabled

https://github.com/settings/copilot

After that, just set up Roo Code with API Provider "VS Code LM API" and Claude Sonnet as the language model

This is how I got Roo Code working with my organisations subscription of Copilot (though my admin needed to turn on Claude 3.5 Sonnet)

Thanks works!
