•  How to extend an existing .NET backend using C# and MongoDB.
• How to modify data models (Goal model) in a .NET environment.
• Conduct manual testing of API endpoints.
• Gain experience in version control using Git.

•  Fork and set up the rSERVER repository.
• Create a MongoDB cluster, user, and connect the server.
• Seed the database and test the API without icons, then with icons.
• Modify the Goal model to include an optional Icon field.
• Submit the required code file as specified.

 This series of tasks will onboard you to rSERVER. To support icons, we need to extend our existing .NET backend written in C#. You'll get started with MongoDB and seed your development instance. Then, you will modify the Goal model using C# and .NET, and conduct some manual testing using Postman. Eventually, you will use Git to share your work with the team: once you have the API running, upload a .json file of the server response so we can make sure the API is behaving as expected before movin
