Solution Reference: Challenge 1 -- Find Your Way Around

This is one way the scavenger hunt could look. Your exact findings will vary depending on when you completed the challenge. If you found the key elements, you succeeded.

Expected findings

Code tab

  • The root of the repository contains files like README.md, docs/, and .github/
  • The file count varies as the repository evolves -- any reasonable count is correct

Issues tab

  • You should have found at least one open issue
  • If no issues were open, noting that the tab exists is sufficient

docs/welcome.md

  • The first paragraph introduces the learning room and what students will do
  • You may have noticed TODO comments -- those are intentionally left for Challenge 2

Repository description and README

  • The description appears at the top of the Code tab, below the repository name
  • The README renders automatically below the file list

Alternate approaches

  • github.com: Click each tab in the top navigation bar
  • github.dev: Press . on any repo page to open the web editor, then use the Explorer sidebar
  • VS Code with GitHub extension: Use the GitHub Repositories extension to browse remotely
  • GitHub CLI: gh repo view Community-Access/git-going-with-github --web opens the repo in a browser

What matters

The learning objective is familiarity with repository navigation, not memorizing exact file counts. If you explored the tabs and found the key files, you completed this challenge.
