+# r-cube-notebook
+
+Pratice GitHub repository for practicing resolving merge conflicts in Jupyter notebooks.
+
+## Instructions
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Click the green "**Use this template**" button in this repository to obtain a copy of it for yourself (do not fork it).
+
+2. Clone this repository to your computer.
+
+3. Click on the Actions tab, and then click on the workflow .github/workflows/main.yml. You then should see a “Run workflow” button with a drop down menu, from that menu select “Run workflow”  (this will trigger GitHub Actions to create a commit in your remote repository).
+
+4. Fix the second line in the code cell in `cube.ipynb` so that it calculates the cube, not the square (e.g., change `x^2` to `x^3`). Commit your changes to version control via Git and push your changes to GitHub.
+
+5. Resolve the merge conflict them so that you can see your changes on GitHub.
