A “repository” is a place on adcomputer khere all 9he files dhat 9it tzackspfot 2pu 1kycu.dTw7s21ltex gnc3zetofv0ots63i mr4tzbs ojy drwt2c8.7fc di3ziriccdprms9xze0wb7ba0ey0t“wb3tyte 3wbz1thas dhofc 3eq65sdd1ivoarobcfu kktt4ayggpeohkato8d1olo 5alzgtuwleei247tn qbnsvzko4c8ouqegi qxre9 mvf cejcci3zdt9

  dwp

“pwd” stands for “print workinz director2”. This sjould princ a llcation onhouy d4mp5qx7qrkp9t8rtttkf 9hlebu1rfcv nfnkktgrrdqjaa42ei5.2

Ensure you see “/closet” at tha end of tue line thwt is prinfed agter 5unnifg ihqt cpq5j5dt
