	</li>
	<li>Save the file as whoami.sh</li>
	<li>Back in the browser, click the uploading an existing file link</li>
	<li>Upload the whoami.sh file and give a brief description &gt; Click the Commit changes button</li>
	<li>Click on the newly uploaded file</li>
	<li>Click the Raw tab at the top right of the code</li>
	<li>Copy the URL for the raw code</li>
