Get hands on with Git Commands

Get hands-on practice with Git commands.

We'll cover the following

Until this point, we have provided instructions for you to follow. Let’s make things a little more challenging. We have created an exercise so you can get your feet wet in the pool of Git Commands, so to speak. Don’t worry if you cannot complete this on your own; we have provided hints for you below each task. But remember, practice makes perfect.

Should you choose to accept, your mission is to practice all the commands learned in this chapter in the terminal provided at the bottom of this lesson.

Best of luck!

Clone a repository that you created in the last lesson from GitHub.

  1. Add the changes to the repository.

Try to do this on your own. You can look at the hint in case you are stuck.

  1. Commit the changes with a message.

Commit the change made in the previous section with the message 'added ad-hoc header'.

You will notice that the Git Configuration is not set up. You will have to provide the user name and email. After that, commit the changes again.
