Git and GitHub

## Problem statement

Create a Git repository and clone it to a second one. Make a change on the first repository’s `master` branch, and fetch and merge it into the second one.

Try setting up two independent copies of the same repository (i.e., do not clone) and bring changes in and out on multiple branches.
