Creating a New README File

Let’s begin by creating your very own README.md for Assignment 1 (“A1”).

My First README (File)

Step 1: Open Atom. From the file menu, select "New File."

Step 2: Copy and Paste this line into the blank file: # My First README.md

Step 3: Save the file as "README.md" or "readme.md". At this time, you can save it anywhere you'll remember.

IMPORTANT Only name your files README.md or readme.md. No other names or spaces.

Step 4: Preview what the rendered text will look like by opening the command palette by going to view > "Toggle Command Palette."

Step 5: In the input line, start typing “preview” until “Markdown Preview: Toggle” is seen. Select this option by clicking it or pressing return. This will show you the rendered version of the markdown code.

Step 6: You should now see your file and rendered preview. Now you can begin your homework!
