Coloured Dots in the DOM

1. Visit the DOM-applying-classes repository on GitHub. Click the Fork button in the top right to create your own copy of this repo.

2. From your command line, clone your copy of the repo down to your computer. The terminal command will look something like this:

git clone git@github.com:dev-academy-foundations/DOM-applying-classes.git

3. Open the cloned DOM-applying-classes folder in your code editor. The instructions for this exercise can be found in the README.md of this folder.

Don't forget to save your progress and frequently use git add -A and git commit -m "your message" (with a more meaningful message) throughout the exercise.

4. Once you have finished working on this exercise, remember to add, commit, and push your work to GitHub.
