OK, so reading between the lines, GitBash is a unix shell of some kind.   I 
now have to drag microemacs out of the recesses of my memory.  I used it as 
my C++ editor up to the mid 90s, and this is the only unix-style command 
prompt I've ever used.   Still GitBash seems to like my first attempts at 
ls, pwd, mkdir, and cd, so I'm starting to feel that it is my friend :-)

So I've created my local engraving-challenges directory,  navigated to it, 
and done

git clone https://github.com/MozartSoftware/engraving-challenges

(DavidWebber is apparently a common name and I had to choose another ID).

and I've already blundered.   I created a directory called 
.../engraving-challenges and went there.  The files are now all a directory

.../engraving-challenges/engraving-challenges/

but I suppose I can live with that for now.

Yes!   I see I have a directory
.../engraving-challenges/engraving-challenges/challenge01/Mozart

Presumably I can put files there???    How do I upload them?
