Pull request overview

Updates the beginner-facing setup chapter to prevent shell expansion when users include special characters ($, !) in copilot -p prompts, aligning the troubleshooting guidance with real shell behavior.

Changes:

  • Replace double quotes with single quotes in the “Common Mistakes” table example to ensure $HOME/! are passed literally to Copilot CLI.
