Operation Quantum Leap

Introduction

Welcome, time traveler! You've learned the basics of Git, and now it's time to put your skills to the test. Imagine you're working on a top-secret project called "Operation Quantum Leap." Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a Git repository, add a file with some classified information, and commit it to the repository. Are you ready to secure your first piece of time-travel technology?

Tips: This challenge differs from the step-by-step learning Lab and requires you to complete it independently to demonstrate your mastery of the skills.
