The setup was fairly easy now that I am familiar with the proess. I used VSCode for my IDE which means the terminology was the same with git and bash commands. VSCode allows for convenient file viewing and editing as well as terminal access. To get started I opened by downloaded repo folder in VSCode, launched WSL from the terminla and used the commands 'git touch gitoffline.md' then I used nano for the text editor to create this file. FInally I used 'git add',and 'git commit' to commit it to the practice 09-11 branch
