<h2>What is a README file?</h2>

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Quisquam,
voluptates. Quisquam, voluptates.
A README file introduces and explains a project. It tells users what your project does, how to use it, how to install it, and how to contribute. It’s the first thing most people see.

<h2>What is a Wireframe?</h2>
<p>
A wireframe is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website or application. It helps in planning the layout and functionality before actual development begins.

<h2>What is a Git Branch?</h2>
<p>
A Git branch is a separate line of development in a project. It allows you to work on features or fixes without affecting the main codebase, making it easier to manage changes and collaborate with others.
