The Open Weather API key can be generated for free from their site:
You can use these secrets to protect sensitive data, such as email credentials, API keys, or webhooks, without exposing them in your code.

## Getting Started

1. Get your Open Weather API Key: To use the Open Weather functionality, you can generate a free API key from the [OpenWeatherMap website](https://openweathermap.org/api).

2. Configure User Secrets: Add your secrets to the `secrets.json` file as shown in the example above.

3. Have Fun Coding: Dive into the world of Git and C#, participate in Hacktoberfest, and contribute to the project.
