Increment Redis Counter for Website Visits

Implement a Redis-based counter to track website homepage visits.

Tasks

Connect to the Redis server using redis-cli.
Increment the homepage_visits key by 1 using the INCR command.

Requirements

Connect to the Redis server using the redis-cli command in the terminal.
Use the INCR command to increment the value of the homepage_visits key.
After executing the INCR command, exit the redis-cli using the exit command.

Examples

After successfully incrementing the counter, you can check the value using the GET command.

127.0.0.1:6379> GET homepage_visits
"1"
127.0.0.1:6379> exit

This indicates that the homepage_visits counter has been incremented to 1.

Hints

Use the redis-cli command to interact with the Redis server.
The INCR command increments the value of a key by 1.
Remember to exit the redis-cli after incrementing the counter.
