Git Assignment: Viewing History, Blame and Merging
Part 1: Viewing File History
Questions to answer in your notes:
How many commits modified this file?
"2 commits modified this file."
What differences do you see when adding the -p option?
"With the -p option, Git not only shows the commit messages and IDs but also displays the patch (diff) — the exact line-by-line changes made in the file, showing which lines were removed (-) and which were added (+)."
Part 2: Viewing File History with Blame
uestions to answer in your notes:
Who changed each line of the file?
"git blame command shows who last changed each line of the file, with commit ID, author, date, and line content."
How does -L help when the file is large?
"The -L option in git blame lets you limit the output to a specific range of lines."
What extra information does -e provide?
"The -e option in git blame shows the author’s email address instead of just their name."
Part 3: Merging Branches
Questions to answer in your notes:
Did Git perform a fast-forward merge or a 3-way merge?
"Git did not perform a fast-forward merge. A fast-forward merge happens when the master branch can just move its pointer to the feature branch because there are no divergent changes."
What does git log --graph --oneline --all show after the merge?
"After the merge, git log --graph --oneline --all will show a branch graph with the master and feature branch diverging and then joining at the merge commit"
