Getting started
When you select the Start the exercise on GitHub button, you're navigated to a public GitHub template repository that prompts you to complete a series of small challenges. Before you can begin the exercise, complete the following tasks:
Select the Start course button or the Use this template feature within the template repository. This action prompts you to create a new repository. We recommend creating a public repository, because private repositories use Actions minutes. After you make your own repository from the template, wait about 20 seconds and refresh.
Follow the instructions in the repository's README to understand how the exercise works, its learning objectives, and how to successfully complete the exercise.
When you've finished the exercise in GitHub, return back to this module for:
- A quick knowledge check
- A summary of what you've learned
- To earn a badge for completing this module

You don't need to modify any of the workflow files to complete this exercise. Altering the contents in this workflow can break the exercise's ability to validate your actions, provide feedback, or grade the results.
