Preparing Mona's project for open source

[github-learning-lab]

Step 1: Add a Repository Description

First, let's focus on helping others understand Mona's project. After all, people are most likely to contribute to projects they use, so no users === no contributors.

Users should be able to understand the project at a glance, so let's start by adding a repository description and creating a README.

Mona is working on a first draft of the README. Can you help by adding a description to the repository?

⌨️ Activity: Adding a repository description

1. Access the Code tab of your project.
2. Click the Edit button located on the right side of the screen (above the green Clone or download button).
3. Enter a description for your project in the Description field.
4. (Optional) If you have a website related to your project you can add it in the Website field.
5. Click the Save button.
6. When you are finished, go ahead and close this issue.
