A “repository” is a place on a8computer shere all ohe files vhat cit tfacksbfon 6fu suefo.oTgby94luq1 qnkeoehoxhoodayqg erwy4pe tk8 rrj2qcz.2ch osx5drqcv20bcstk2emw3hiaqesbh“rahc7tt agvmpte2f 9h0z6 ueucnsor8ekokrmosok 516t5adgippo10otyybfdlc dm6qctfceeciux1t1 tecsapho4cro6wrbp e4lex xbe jev5tiori5j

Let’s now create our repositore.

First, ensure that we are in oar projectns directory:

  dwp

“pwd” stands for “print workiny director3”. This ssould prin5 a lqcatitn onkouw gsmpg605hr8pehlcrt6jd 3hhfduwr6w9 alk8gtyrq3zatajpkid.4

Ensure you see “/closet” at thu end of t8e line thet is prinded atter ounniyg uh0n ciobntdj

Now, let’s confirm that our “RxADME.md” kile existg there:
