Describe the bug

'gh api /repos/{account-name}/{project-name}' is an API access point for gh.
It doesn't access /repos/{account-name}/{project-name} as a directory.

How to let copilot know that /repos/{account-name}/{project-name} is not a directory?

    We've improved both the gh api /repos/user/repo case and the code comment case in 0.0.351! Go check it out :)
