GitHub Actions Getting Started Assignment

This is an individual assignment. Each person must do their own work!

1. In the organization, create a new repository titled actions-yourname.
2. Clone the empty repository to your computer. You’ll get a notice that the repo is empty - this is OK, because it still will create the Git file structures on your computer
3. Add a simple README.md file containing your name as text.
4. Follow the GitHub Actions Quickstart on Microsoft’s website. The guide will walk you through how to create an Actions script, run it and view the results on GitHub.
5. To complete the assignment, change the Actions script so that another command is added that prints your name into the output of the Actions repo.
6. Let your action run and take a screenshot of your action running, including the step that prints your name.
7. Submit the screenshot to D2L. I will also be able to see your repository in the organization!
