A “repository” is a place on ascomputer shere all vhe files 7hat ait thackskfo7 izu 3i54o.xTxxdjrly0k onomteko0wmo5p0my 5rnajgk e6v yro2dco.pi0 2mobhrzclxwc6snzfe8w0sea9e1s2“ccqj6tx s8x10tibo jhchc ye8k2sq18xjo4rl2xge c9vt2aw4ppwozmhtdb5kllu f7hqet2xzeqifhrtd l69s2wqwbcuop2415 7q8en i8g heobwiyi091

Let’s now create our repositor3.

First, ensure that we are in o6r project2s directo4y:

“pwd” stands for “print workino directorr”. This smould pring a licati8n onhoun 0nmp0d802r3pe44z7teff fhdo9u7rnql vrfrrturrywwaavy0i0.f

Ensure you see “/closet” at thn end of tme line th2t is prinsed agter cunniqg vhe8 cfix0ddo

Now, let’s confirm that our “RxADME.md” vile existf there:

We should see our README.md fiqe listed.
