The basic setup exercise currently has two parts:
- creating a repository from the template and
- creating a simple workflow.
Creating the repository is not directly related to GitHub Actions, and requires the user to create
a new repository and reopen the exercise to continue. This can be confusing.
If we instead have two exercises, the first exercise ends when the user has created their own
repository. When the user opens the newly created repository, they can continue with the second
exercise, which is creating a simple workflow.
Both exercises could be presented and completed at the same time. Having two separate exercises
would make it clearer when the user starts on GitHub Actions related tasks.
An alternative could be to simply have the workflow pre-created in the template repository.
