Looks great to me, well done and thank you
This PR adds an instructor note to Episode 4, containing a suggestion for how to adapt the review exercise when teaching the lesson over Zoom. The key differences in this approach are that the bulk of exercise is done in one large group, with everyone sharing access to a common virtual whiteboard, and it finishes off with some individual work on the same board.
Many thanks to you, @PhilReedData, for contributing the suggestion; please take a look and let me know how to improve this version of it.
In addition, this PR makes some adjustments to the regular version of the review exercise. Reading through the page again, I struggled with the logic of how the text before the 'Exercise' header related to the text after it – they seemed to be two different versions of the same thing. To straighten things out, I've used the new instructor note as inspiration and reformulated the two versions of the group work into a single challenge block: the first bullet list now reflects the order used in the Zoom version; and I've reframed the 'Visualising Git' exercise as a set of prompts or nudges for thinking about the second half of the challenge, and formatted it as a hint block. I think it works better like that.
Resolves #142.
