Tutorial update needed: Add /pr slash command to Git Workflow lesson #42

Description

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:

  1. What /pr does (dedicated PR workflow command)
  2. When to use /pr vs. natural language ("create a PR")
  3. 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.
