✨Exercise: Checkout the tutorial-1-git branch and look at Anthony.txt in the root folder of the repository. In this file, I've said my name and my favourite robot. For this exercise, make a branch off of tutorial called tutorial-1-[your-name] and create your own txt file. You can write whatever you want in it. Feel free to also include your favourite robot. After creating this file, add it, commit it, push it, and open a pull request. IMPORTANT: Set the pull request to merge with tutorial-1-git, not noetic.
