git-practice

This exercise will help you get comfortable with the Enye git workflow

Instructions

Update this repo by taking the following steps:

1. Create a folder in the root directory of this repo (use any method)
   • name it week2_{{your_first_name}}
2. Create a a file inside of this folder (use any method)
   • name it git_command_line_assessment_{{your_first_name}}.txt
3. In this text file, list 5 commands that you learned from week 1 and explain what they do in your own words
4. Save the file (CTRL+S) then Add and Commit your changes
   • make sure to add a short but descriptive message of the changes that you are committing

git add git_command_line_assessment_{{your_first_name}}.txt
git commit -m "{{add_your_message_here}}"

5. Now the changes to your forked version of the git-practice repo

git push origin master

6. Go to your forked and make sure that the changes have been successfully pushed to github
7. Once you have the confirmation, slack the link of you forked repo to enye_admin

Additional Commands

• run git status - to see which files that you have changed
• run git add . - to add all files
• run git commit -am "{{add_your_message_here}}" - to add all files during a commit (meaning you add and commit in one step instead of two)

Advanced commands

• git branch - lists all the local branches
• git remote -v - list all the remote repos connected to your local repo (by default origin points to the git repo that your cloned from)
• git checkout {name_of_branch} - switches you to that branch
• git checkout -b {name_of_branch} - creates a new branch and switches you to that branch
• git branch -d {name_of_branch} - deletes the named branch
• git push origin -u {name_of_branch} - creates a new branch in the remote repo
