2. Start VSCode and add the exercise directory to it.

3. Create .env file with GITHUB_TOKEN and GITHUB_ORG.

GITHUB_TOKEN="<TOKEN>"
GITHUB_ORG="<ORG NAME>"

4. Create repos.mjs file in VSCode.

import { Octokit } from "octokit";
import dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config();

const octokit = new Octokit({ 
    auth: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN,
});
