GIT Test 1

Question 1

Which file can you set up to prevent specific file types from ever being committed to the local Git repository?

Accepted Answer

.gitignore

Answer

Explanation:
Git is only for storing source code. Image files, compiled code, logs, and archives are examples of resources that should be kept out of the repository. Git will refuse to commit specific resources to the repository if a.gitignore file is configured, even if they are put to the staging area.

Question 2

The git command ________is used to add tags to a commit.

Accepted Answer

git tag [commitID]

Answer

Explanation:
The primary driver of tag generation, modification, and deletion is the git tag command. Annotated tags and lightweight tags are the two sorts of tags.

Question 3

With a Windows-based Git install, what is the default text editor for the Bash shell?

Accepted Answer

Vim

Answer

Explanation:
When Git Bash is installed on a Windows PC, Vim is the default text editor. Unfortunately, for Windows users who are new with Vim, the tool tends to provide an unnecessary stumbling block in the way of Git beginners. Do you want to make it easier for Windows users to understand Git? Replace Git's default text editor with something more user-friendly, such as Emacs or Notepad++.

Question 4

To display a limited amount of commits, what command is used?

Accepted Answer

git log -n

Answer

Explanation:
The git log -n command is used to display a set number of commits.

Question 5

Which two configuration parameters does Git want to be configured after you install it and before you make your first commit?

Accepted Answer

username and email address

Answer

Explanation:
Every commit should have a username and an email address linked with it, according to Git. In a distributed context, this allows all source code contributors to quickly identify and communicate with co-contributors.

The git config command can be used to set up the user.name and user.email attributes, as seen below:

/c/ git quiz (tutorial)
$ git config --local user.name "Git quiz taker"
/c/ git quiz (tutorial)
$ git config --local user.email "me@example.com"

If the user.name and user.email address properties are not explicitly provided, Git will supply the appropriate information to a commit using the local machine's IP address and the OS' logon credentials. It will also provide a rather detailed warning message about properly specifying these properties.
