A Beginner's Guide to Prompt Engineering with GitHub Copilot #75
Description
An important piece to copilot is understanding how to write prompts and the topic of prompt engineering. We touch on this with our Introduction to Copilot module, but I believe it's an important topic to cover and deserves its own module in the learning path.
Proposed new module:
A Beginner's Guide to Prompt Engineering with GitHub Copilot
