What Changed
The official github/copilot-cli-for-beginners course added explicit /pr slash command mentions to its setup, workflow, and end-to-end chapters on 2026-03-18:
Why the Tutorial Needs Updating
Lesson 13 (Git Workflow — Commits & Pull Requests) currently teaches PR creation only through natural language:
"create a PR for my changes" — Copilot writes the title, summary, and test plan
It does not mention the /pr slash command, which is a dedicated slash command for pull request workflows. The official beginner course now highlights this command across multiple chapters as a key part of the PR workflow.
The CLI docs reference /pr in the command reference and it represents a more direct, intentional way to work with pull requests compared to natural language.
What Needs to Be Added
In Lesson 13 (Git Workflow), add a section on the /pr slash command covering:
- What
/pr does (dedicated PR workflow command)
- When to use
/pr vs. natural language ("create a PR")
- Example usage in a typical commit → PR workflow
This keeps the tutorial aligned with the official beginner course, which now teaches /pr as part of standard workflow chapters.
