Lab exercise

1. Create a GitHub account if you don’t already have one
2. Create a public GitHub Repository. We’ll mostly be using a GitHub Project, but the Repository is necessary for us to leverage Issues in our Project.
   1. You can title your repository anything you like. Please select option to include a README.md but don’t worry about a .gitignore or a License. Don’t forget to make the repository public.
3. Create a GitHub Project in your personal GitHub account to track work for this class and your applied report
   1. Start with an empty project: Select Board then click Create
4. Open a new issue in the alex-pakalniskis/gisc606-spring2023 repository to tell me about yourself. Answers are visibile to anyone who knows how to read a GitHub Issue so only share what you feel disclosing to the public.
   1. Please format your response as a Markdown code block with JSON syntax highlighting.
   2. See this resource to get started. You can also view the .md version of this file to see how I did it below (change the url file ending).
