Git Assignment - 16-08-2025

Create Repository in Organization

Assignment:

Go to the Git-Training-Hub organization on Git Comorin.
Create a new repository inside the organization (name it something like git-practice-<your_name>).
Make sure it is empty (no README, no .gitignore, no license).
Document this step in your final GIT_ASSIGNMENT.md with a screenshot showing the repo inside the organization.

1. What is Git and Version Control

Assignment:

Write down (in your own words) what problem Git solves.
Find one real-life example where multiple people edit the same file (school project, code, Google Docs).
Answer: Why is version control better than emailing files back and forth?

2. Installing Git & Configuring User Info

Assignment:

Install Git (if not already installed).

Run:

git --version
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your@email.com"

Verify with:
```
git config --list
```

3. Initializing a Repository

Assignment:

Create a new folder git-practice-<<your_name>>.
Inside, run:
```
git init
```
Verify that a .git folder is created.
Run git status and note the message (it should say “No commits yet”).

4. Working Directory, Staging, and Commits

Assignment:

In git-practice-<<your_name>>, create a file notes.txt.
Run:
```
git status
```
Observe which area (untracked → staged → committed) the file is in as you do:
```
git add notes.txt
git commit -m "Add first notes file"
git status
```
Write down how the status changed after each command.

5. Adding & Committing Files

Assignment:

Add another file todo.txt.
Stage and commit with a meaningful message.
Modify todo.txt, then commit the change again.
Run git log --oneline to see both commits.

6. Viewing Commit Logs & Diffs

Assignment:

Run:

git log
git log --oneline --graph
git diff

Edit notes.txt and check the changes with git diff before staging.
Stage and commit, then run git diff commit1 commit2 to see what changed between commits.

7. Creating & Switching Branches

Assignment:

Create a branch feature/feature-1:

git branch feature/feature-1
git checkout feature/feature-1

Add a line to notes.txt and commit it.
Switch back to main:
```
git checkout main
```
Observe how the file content changes.

8. Cloning a Remote Repository

Assignment:

Go to Git Comorin and verify your repo in Git-Training-Hub exists.
Run:
```
git clone <your-repo-url> cloned-repo
```
Verify by listing files inside cloned-repo.

9. Adding & Managing Remotes

Assignment:

In your original git-practice-<<your_name>> repo, add a remote:
```
git remote add origin <your-repo-url>
git remote -v
```
Verify the remote shows correctly.

10. Pushing & Pulling Changes

Assignment:

Push local commits to Git Comorin:
```
git push -u origin main
```
Edit a file directly on Git Comorin and commit it there.
In your local repo, run:
```
git pull origin main
```
Verify that the local file updates.

11. Ignoring Files with .gitignore

Assignment:

In your repo, create a file secret.txt.
Create .gitignore and add:
```
secret.txt
```
Run git status → confirm secret.txt is ignored.
Commit the .gitignore file.

Final Assignment Summary

Create a new project folder and initialize Git.
Add and commit at least two files.
View logs and diffs.
Create a branch, make changes, and switch back.
Create a Git Comorin repo in Git-Training-Hub, add it as a remote, and push.
Clone the repo into another folder to verify it works.
Add a .gitignore file to exclude something.
Document all steps in GIT_ASSIGNMENT.md with screenshots of key commands and the repository inside the organization.
