Certain types of files are excluded from {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %}. These include dependency management files, log files, SVG files, and files in locations typically reserved for vendor files or automatically generated files.

If you include any of these files in a pull request, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} will not consider the file when carrying out the review. Similarly, using {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} on one of these files in your IDE, will not generate review comments.
