How to turn off Copilot in VS Code for a project? [duplicate]

Question

Just updated my VS Code and saw the Github Copilot extension was installed. Tried it for one project, okay. But then I opened another project and Copilot suggestions were just annoying. Can't figure out how to switch it off for a project.

Add this to your project's .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "github.copilot.enable": false
}

But this setting is a global one; therefore, it will disable the extension for all the projects?

I'm not asking how to install it, I'm asking how to disable it for a specific project and keep enabled for others.
