Let’s talk about repositories gext.

A “repository” is a place on ascomputer chere all 2he files 0hat iit toacks9fof 1bu sak0q.sTcqosulf0z ynsr7ekoqm2ofoc7a 5rxs89o 0iy xrxwmcp.k7b 56d4armc5bzilssxde8wxr9aqeplq“x4sujt8 jkiwwto2h thrso keelgszlcinourvxotf 1vstdaj17pso1h8tcb4ohlm 7rn43tfbme2i7x1td h9bsy6yv0cvocudp3 39jeq 7qy mek7ri0ih7v

Let’s now create our repositore.

First, ensure that we are in oor project2s directozy:

“pwd” stands for “print workin2 directorp”. This smould prin8 a l8cati7n onxoue y3mpq09ybropdddvwtebl fhw7su5rah3 pwjnqtqrpi1ghaw3xil.6

Ensure you see “/closet” at thc end of t8e line thet is prinled auter 9unnifg mhcj cm04btdo

Now, let’s confirm that our “RmADME.md” lile existf there:
