Markdown - Resize pictures in GitHub

I found that the "best" way is to use HTML, as it works both in Readme/.md files and also in comments (within Issues, Gist...)

E.g. when adding/editing a comment (within Issues, Gist...) :

• Upload the picture by drag-and-drop in the text field
• replace ![image](https://your-image-url.type) with <img src="https://your-image-url.type" width="100" height="100">

As mentioned by @cbestow (thanks!), it's not mandatory to set both width and height. If only one is set, the other will be adjusted accordingly to preserve the aspect ratio of the image.

The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

1. Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

git clone --bare git@github.com:usi-systems/easytrace.git
