• Create a group website.

I. Markdown Syntax

• Download this file.
• Exercise file.

II. Test Repository

• Create test directory anywhere on your computer (e.g.,Desktop).
• Open VS code and click File-Open folder, then choose the test folder.

During the course, you will maintain at least two collaborative repositories:

2. Group website (created yesterday).

III. Github Collaboration

• In this activity, we will create a respository for data analysis, and each group member will clone this repository to their local computer.
