[ignoring-somethings] Improve verify logic

Description

Verify logic can be improved. Currently, after we first run gitmastery download ignoring-somethings then run gitmastery verify without performing any changes, the error message is "You have not made any commits yet!", which isn't very useful to users (this should be a check at step 2).

Ideally, we can refactor this such that the verification logic follows the steps for a more logical flow, ie. verify step 1 is complete first before step 2.

Exercise steps

1. Update the .gitignore file (inside the files/ folder) to reflect the following requirements:

• Git should ignore every file in the many/ folder except the file many/file22.txt.
• why_am_i_hidden.txt should not be ignored by Git.
• ignore_me.txt should be ignored by Git.
• Git should ignore any runaway.txt file in this/ and any of its current and future subfolders (hint: use a pattern).

2. Commit the updated .gitignore file.

Things to do

• refactor verify logic
• refactor repo-smith tests (if needed)
