1. Create a file called `file01.txt`.
2. Add `file01.txt` to the staging area.
3. Commit with the message `"adding file01.txt"`. Then push to GitHub
4. Add content to `file01.txt`. Repeat steps 2-3.
5. Create another file called `file02.txt`.
6. Add content to `file02.txt`. Follow step 2-3
7. Delete any file
8. Add this change to the staging area
9. Commit with the message `"removing file_NUMBER.txt"`, push to GitHub
10. Create a `README.md` file and add various types of content such as images, videos, and code snippets. You can use the provided sample content as a template for creating your own `README.md` file. The `README.md` file is a key component of any project as it provides important information about the project and helps users and contributors understand how to use and contribute to it.
