Runnable lab for this step

This lesson explains the ideas. The matching GitHub folder is a lab snapshot you can clone and run. Skim the scripts, run the checks, then come back here for the why.

Open snapshot on GitHub

fcc-os-scheduling/01-Getting-Started

Run locally

git clone https://github.com/michaeldunga1/fcc-os-scheduling.git
cd fcc-os-scheduling/01-Getting-Started
bash check.sh || true
cat README.md
