You’ll learn through issues being opened by the bot in your repository. After you finish a task, the bot will comment on your work—or even review your pull requests, as a project collaborator would. Its hands-on nature means you will gain skills quickly and accurately.
Whether you are new to development or new to GitHub, utilizing Learning Lab will help you improve your development process overall because you will learn to use every GitHub offering to its fullest to get the best results for your development team.
