<h3>What is a README file?</h3>
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Quisquam,
voluptates. Quisquam, voluptates.
A README file explains what a project is, how it works, and how to use it.
It is usually the first thing CYF students read in a repository.

<h3>What is a wireframe?</h3>
<p>
A wireframe is a simple visual layout that shows the structure of a webpage
before any design or styling is added.

<h3>What is a Git branch?</h3>
<p>
A Git branch lets you work on new changes safely without changing the main
project. You can make updates, and only add them to the main code when they
are ready.
