Compulsory Task 1 Follow these steps: ● Create an empty folder called git_task_project. ● Open your terminal or command prompt and then change directory (cd) to your newly created folder. ● Enter the git init command to Initialise your new repository. ● Enter the git status command and make a note of what you see. You should have a clean working directory. ● Create a new file in the git_task_project folder called helloWorld.py and write a program that prints out the message “Hello World!” ● Run the git status command again. You should now see that your helloWorld.py file is untracked. ● Enter the git add command followed by helloWorld.py to start tracking your new file. ● Once again, run the git status command. You should now see that your helloWorld.py file is tracked and staged to be committed ● Now that it is tracked, let us change the file helloWorld.py. Change the message printed out by the program to “Git is awesome!” ● Run git status again. You should see that helloWorld.py appears under a section called “Changes not staged for commit”. This means that the file is tracked but has been modified and not yet staged. ● Take a screenshot of this change and title it: git_modified.pdf or git_modified.jpeg. Include it as part of your submission. ● To stage your file, simply run git add again. ● If you run git status again you should see that it is once again staged for your next commit. ● You can now commit your changes by running the git commit -m command. Remember to enter a suitable commit message after the -m switch. ● Running the git status command should show a clean working directory once again. ● Now run the git log command. You should see your commit listed. ● Take a screenshot of the output and add it to the task folder. Name the submitted image file: git_log.pdf or git_log.jpeg.
