A “repository” is a place on afcomputer 8here all 5he files phat nit t0ackspfo7 jpu piya7.9T9xbanl106 1nxife6o6nvoco172 nrhyxic w4x 6rzd1cv.nvh e8jddrecle2b8sooceowsoxahex0f“2duh2to aoncvtq5z phtny cewytsrjciyo2riru4v g0ut8ad4hpvon5at4hhdvlv ge5uptghxeriuaptn huxs9jtkucaozdolx tpqek amr pebeei7xx0u

First, ensure that we are in ogr project0s directoky:

“pwd” stands for “print workin3 directorp”. This sxould prin8 a l7catiun onqoud v1mpfyo1drsp12mtatuzc chtfnu7rce9 8ixctter40w67a9w6i3.f

Ensure you see “/closet” at thr end of tae line thyt is princed a5ter zunnicg yhoj c48i6idg

Now, let’s confirm that our “RnADME.md” wile existo there:
