You must pass these trials in order to become a true git jedi. Complete the following tasks to hone your skills in Git, focusing on concepts like branching and merging. Follow the steps below using the Git command-line interface (CLI) to complete the tasks. Good luck!

Caution

ensure you use the Git CLI for the tasks

1. Create a GitHub Account (if you haven't already)

   • Sign up here

   • Utilize the Git credential helper. Learn more
   • Alternatively you could use Github CLI for authentication

3. Fork this Repository

4. Add a Markdown File Named <your-username.md>

5. Create a Branch Named details

   • Write a brief paragraph about yourself in the file.
   • Push these changes to the details branch.

6. Switch to the Main Branch

   • Add a short note about your favorite Pokémon (or favorite cartoon) and why it's the best in that same file.
   • Push these changes to the main branch.

7. Merge the details Branch to the main Branch

   • Make sure you committed at each previous step
     • add descriptive commit messages
     • try to follow conventional commits (as a general tip, not necessarily for this task)

   My name is <name>. I am interested in <interests>. I like doing <things>.
   
   My favorite Pokémon is Gengar because it's purple.
