This assignment involves multiple steps and will possibly use unfamiliar terminology. Go slowly, read and follow instructions carefully, and you will be alright!
(10 points) Assignment Instructions

- Look for a "View on GitHub" button somewhere on this page OR just search GitHub for "sayaliph" and find the repo from among the list of repositories
- "Fork" Dr. Phadke's assignment repo to create your own copy to edit
- Your copy of the repo should say "[your-userID] / STAT184WC-FA24_GitHub-Practice" at the top with a tiny note saying it was forked from sayaliph

- Write a descriptive commit message (e.g. "added Sayali Phadke to class table")
- Push the commit to the "Master branch..."
- Click green button "Commit file change"
- Click on the green "Commit changes" button
- Merge your updated copy of the repo with Dr. Phadke's repo
- Click on "Pull requests" at the top of the page >> click green button "New Pull Request"

Important: Your entry may NOT appear on the class table right away. Once you submit the "pull request" the owner of the repo (me) needs to approve and merge it into the "master" before your entry will appear in the class table on the website.
