Prepare for the GH-300 exam (GitHub Copilot certification). In this lesson: the four S's of good prompts (single, specific, short, surround), how Copilot builds its context, zero-shot, one-shot and few-shot prompts, chat history and chain prompting, starting a new chat, role prompting, and the prompt process flow. Includes three original practice questions.
