#' Download and Unpack an AMR Course Repository
#'
#' Downloads and unpacks a GitHub repository containing course materials, using [usethis::use_course()]. This is a convenience wrapper intended for use in educational settings, such as workshops or tutorials associated with the AMR package.
#' @param github_repo A character string specifying the GitHub repository with username and repo name, e.g. `"https://github.com/username/repo"`.
#' @param branch A character string specifying the branch to download. Defaults to `"main"`.
#' @param ... Additional arguments passed on to [usethis::use_course()].
#' @details
#' This function constructs a ZIP archive URL from the provided `github_repo` and `branch`, then delegates to [usethis::use_course()] to handle the download and extraction.
#'
#' The function is designed for interactive use in course or workshop settings and is not intended for use in non-interactive or automated pipelines.
#' @return
#' Called for its side effect. [usethis::use_course()] will prompt the user to choose a destination and open the extracted project. Returns invisibly whatever [usethis::use_course()] returns.
#' @seealso [usethis::use_course()]
#' @export
#' @examples
#' \dontrun{

#' # Let this run by users, e.g., webinar participants
