Join Epochry Lab

Welcome to Epochry Lab.

If you'd like to join the organization as a contributor, complete this Git screening task. The purpose of this task is not to test your programming skills, but to verify that you can use Git and GitHub correctly, follow instructions, and submit work through a proper Pull Request workflow.

Every applicant must complete this task before being considered for the organization.

---

Before You Begin

Read these instructions completely before doing anything.

Most incorrect submissions happen because applicants skip steps or don't read the instructions carefully.

You will need:

• Git installed on your machine (git --version should return a version number)
• A GitHub account
• Basic knowledge of Git and GitHub
• Ability to fork repositories, create branches, commit changes, and open Pull Requests

If you're new to Git, we recommend learning the basics before attempting this task.
