How to start this exercise
[!IMPORTANT] This exercise assumes basic knowledge of GitHub Copilot. If you are unfamiliar, we recommend the Getting Started with Copilot exercise.

Having trouble? 🤷
When copying the exercise, we recommend the following settings:
-
For owner, choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository.
-
We recommend creating a public repository, since private repositories will use Actions minutes.
If the exercise isn't ready in 20 seconds, please check the Actions tab.
-
Check to see if a job is running. Sometimes it simply takes a bit longer.
-
If the page shows a failed job, please submit an issue. Nice, you found a bug! 🐛
