Getting ready

Before we begin with this exercise, we will create a branch from origin/master so we are ready to add commits to our fix.

$ git checkout -b readme_update_developer --track origin/master
Branch readme_update_developer set up to track remote branch master from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'readme_update_developer'
