GM Fuster 3b056aa7b4 chore(replit): use correct brand name across codebase (#41941)
* replace repl.it with replit.com in the English version

Replace repl.it to replit.com in the English version.  Chinese and Spanish versions have the same issue.

* Updated the repl.it to replit.com or Replit

I changed the text from replit.com to Replit and added the changes to the files outside the curriculum folder.

* Forgot removing one .com.

There was on Replit.com that I missed when I reviewed the files.

* Resolve conflicts

I got an unable to auto merge so resolving conflicts and trying again.

* try committing conflicts again

* Trying the conflicts again

* chore: fix typo in personal library

# --description--
Build a full stack JavaScript app that is functionally similar to this: <https://file-metadata-microservice.freecodecamp.rocks/>. Working on this project will involve you writing your code using one of the following methods:
- Clone [this GitHub repo](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-project-filemetadata/) and complete your project locally.
- Use [our Replit starter project](https://replit.com/github/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-project-filemetadata) to complete your project.
- Use a site builder of your choice to complete the project. Be sure to incorporate all the files from our GitHub repo.
When you are done, make sure a working demo of your project is hosted somewhere public. Then submit the URL to it in the `Solution Link` field. Optionally, also submit a link to your projects source code in the `GitHub Link` field.
# --instructions--
**HINT:** You can use the `multer` npm package to handle file uploading.
# --hints--
You should provide your own project, not the example URL.
```js
(getUserInput) => {
assert(
!/.*\/file-metadata-microservice\.freecodecamp\.rocks/.test(
getUserInput('url')
)
);
};
```
You can submit a form that includes a file upload.
```js
async (getUserInput) => {
const site = await fetch(getUserInput('url'));
const data = await site.text();
const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(data, 'text/html');
assert(doc.querySelector('input[type="file"]'));
};
```
The form file input field has the `name` attribute set to `upfile`.
```js
async (getUserInput) => {
const site = await fetch(getUserInput('url'));
const data = await site.text();
const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(data, 'text/html');
assert(doc.querySelector('input[name="upfile"]'));
};
```
When you submit a file, you receive the file `name`, `type`, and `size` in bytes within the JSON response.
```js
async (getUserInput) => {
const formData = new FormData();
const fileData = await fetch(
'https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/weather-icons/01d.png'
);
const file = await fileData.blob();
formData.append('upfile', file, 'icon');
const data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/fileanalyse', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
const parsed = await data.json();
assert.property(parsed, 'size');
assert.equal(parsed.name, 'icon');
assert.equal(parsed.type, 'image/png');
};
```

Backend challenges don't need solutions,
