cd path/to/awsome-books

2. In your local repository, checkout to the main branch.

git checkout main

3. Use the following command to pull the latest codebase from the remote main branch.

git pull

4. Create and switch to another branch named ruleset-experiment.

git checkout -b ruleset-experiment

5. Run the following command to modify README.md file. Remember that your build-image job still run exit 1.

echo "ruleset experiment!" > README.md

6. Make a commit and push to the remote ruleset-experiment repository.

git add . && git commit -m "ruleset experiment" && git push --set-upstream origin ruleset-experiment

7. Go to the AWSome Books remote repository. Click Compare & pull request.

8. Click Create pull request.
