🎓 Copilot CLI Mastery — Interactive Training System

From Zero to CLI Wizard — Master every feature of the GitHub Copilot CLI through interactive lessons, quizzes, scenarios, and challenges.

⚡ Install as a Copilot CLI Skill

One command — works instantly inside the GitHub Copilot CLI:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DUBSOpenHub/copilot-cli-mastery/main/install.sh | bash

Then open the Copilot CLI and say "cliexpert" to start training.

📋 Manual Installation

mkdir -p ~/.copilot/skills/cli-mastery
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DUBSOpenHub/copilot-cli-mastery/main/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.copilot/skills/cli-mastery/SKILL.md

🎮 Two Ways to Learn

Mode	What it is	How to use
🤖 Copilot CLI Skill	AI-powered trainer inside your CLI sessions	Install above, then say "cliexpert"
🐍 Standalone Python App	Interactive terminal app with gamification	python3 mastery.py

Both cover the same 8-module curriculum. The skill works conversationally inside the Copilot CLI. The Python app adds a visual terminal UI with achievements, XP tracking, and a certification exam.

🚀 Standalone Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/DUBSOpenHub/copilot-cli-mastery.git
cd copilot-cli-mastery
python3 mastery.py

No dependencies required — runs on Python 3.6+ with only standard library modules.
