Programming Foundations Version Control With Git

Version control systems like Git allow developers to track changes to source code over time. Git is a distributed version control system that stores the entire history of a project locally, including all file versions and commits. Users interact with Git through either a graphical user interface or command line interface. Common commands include git add to stage files, git commit to save changes to the local repository, and git push to sync changes with a remote repository. Branching allows developers to work independently on different features before merging them together.

Programming Foundations: Version Control with Git

1. Version control systems are often used to manage the source


code for development projects so they are also sometimes
referred to as a _____.
source code manager
2. Why would using a hosting service for version control systems
(e.g. Bitbucket, Github) be more beneficial than a cloud service
(e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive)
VCS hosting services include extra features beyond just file
syncing such as issue tracking, collaborations tools and wikis.
3. Why are commits an essential part of using Git?
Commits are used to track the changes in a Git repository. The
version history consists of a series of commits.
4. How is a centralized VCS different from a distributed VCS?
Centralized: All project files and the version history must be
stored on a remote central server. Distributed: The entire
directory of project files and version history can be stored
locally or remotely.
5. Which type of VCS model does Git belong to?
Distributed Version Control
6. What is the difference between using a GUI and the command
line to perform different actions?
GUI: Uses icons, menus, buttons and other graphical
representations to perform actions. Command line: Uses text-
based commands to execute the action.
7. In computing, the operating system's interface is referred to as
the _____.
Shell
8. The working directory is where you _____. The staging area
stores the _____. The repository contains the _____, which
create the version history.
make edits; list of revisions; commits
9. When saving a file with Git, what two steps are required?
First add the file, then commit it.
10. When adding modified files to the repository, what
commands are used and in what order?
Use git add to move the modified files from your working
directory to the staging area. Then git commit the add the files
to the repo.
11. After creating a remote repository in your Git hosting
account, how do you create a local copy of the remote repo?
Use git clone with the remote repo URL.
12. Which of the following commands will set the username
for all your repositories.
git config --global user.name "Your Username"
13. In the command ls -a, what does the -a represent?
An argument, used to run different options such as listing all
files, including hidden files.
14. What is command used for creating a local Git repository?
git init
15. What are the two commands used to keep a local and
remote repository in sync and how are they used?
git push is used to upload the local commits into the remote
repository. git pull is used download the commits from the
remote repository, and merge the changes into the local
repository.
16. The git status command can be used to show:
A. what branch you're on
B. whether the local and remote repos have the same number of
commits
C. a list of modified and unmodified files
D. which files have been staged
A, B, D
17. Which command is used to navigate to different
directories?
Cd
18. If you delete the local repository, will the remote
repository be deleted as well?
FALSE
19. If you wanted to push the commits from your local master
branch to your remote master branch, what would the command
look like?
git push origin master
20. Which of the following is a benefit for using command
line over a GUI?
All Git commands can be executed using the command line.
With a GUI, the features will vary.

and other branches.
23. When should a feature branch be merged into the
designated central branch (usually the master branch)?
Once the modified files have been tested, added, committed and
deemed ready to be included as part of the latest codebase.
24. When you make a commit in a branch, where is the
commit initially stored?
