I met with Cami today and discussed two things. One, how she has gone about working on a PR for a module and two, we went over an extremely rough outline. After our discussion, I think I should be able to have a draft outline for you and Cami to review EOD 6/5/2023

Hey @camihmerhar, this is almost ready to ship - just one last comment.

At the beginning of unit 4-githubdev-versus-GitHub-Codespaces.md we jump right into github.dev with the following sentence. "Similar to Codespaces, you can also utilize github.dev". I feel like we need an introduction to github.dev. Nothing big, maybe a paragraph or two. Something to initiate the topic.

Other than that, we are good to go! Thanks!!
