[8] Hands-on task assigned

Task:

[1] Create a repo on your local machine using the git bash terminal. Create a repo on GitHub. Connect your local repository with the repo you created on GitHub. Make some nominal changes in some files and push all your code on GitHub.
[2] Fork the repo https://github.com/cosmo3769/demo-repo2 to make a remote copy in your GitHub account. Clone it in your local repository. Add your file using the template we have built. The filename convention should be “your_name.md”. For example: “piyush.md”. There is a link field in the template section. In the link field, you have to add the repo link you have created in the first task. Push all your changes creating a branch. Create a “pull request” from that branch.
