1) Initialize a new Git repository in a directory.

Create a new file and


add it to the staging area and commit the changes with an
appropriate commit message.

i) Create a new folder called “aec” and switch into the folder
mkdir aec
cd aec

ii) To initialize git repository


git init

iii) Create a new file called “hello.txt”


touch hello.txt

iv) Add the file to the staging area


git add .

v) Committing the file


git commit -m “initial commit: adds a hello file”
2) Creating and Managing Branches
a) Create a new branch named "feature-branch." Switch to the
"master" branch. Merge the "featurebranch" into "master."
(Here the name can be either master or main)

i) Create a new folder called “aec” and switch into the folder
mkdir aec
cd aec

ii) To initialize git repository


git init

iii) Create a new file called “hello.txt”


touch hello.txt

iv) Add the file to the staging area


git add .

v) Committing the file


git commit -m “adds a hello file”

vii) Create and switch to the feature-branch


git checkout -b feature-branch

viii) Create a new file called “hello2.txt”


touch hello2.txt

ix) Add the file to the staging area


git add .

x) Committing the file


git commit -m “adds a hello2 file”

xi) Create and switch to the feature-branch


git checkout main
xii) Merge the branch to the main branch
git merge feature-branch

( Both hello1 and hello2 file should be present)


git log - to see the progress

b) Write the commands to stash your changes, switch branches, and


then apply the stashed changes.

xiii) Create a new file


touch hello3.txt

ivx) Add the changes


git add .

xv) Stash the changes


git stash
(The file will go)

xvi) Checkout the feature branch


git stash pop

(The file should appear back in this branch)


3) Collaboration and Remote Repositories

a) Clone a remote Git repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/dev-shetty/aec-github.git


cd aec-github

b) Fetch the latest changes from a remote repository and rebase your
local branch onto the updated remote branch.

git fetch
git checkout -b feature-branch
git rebase origin/master

c) Write the command to merge "feature-branch" into "master" while


providing a custom commit message for the merge.

touch hello.txt
git add .
git commit -m “adds hello file”
git checkout master
git rebase feature-branch
4) Git Tags and Releases Write the command to create a lightweight Git
tag named "v1.0" for a commit in your local repository

i) Create a new folder called “aec” and switch into the folder
mkdir aec
cd aec

ii) To initialize git repository


git init

iii) Create a new file called “hello.txt”


touch hello.txt

vi) Add the file to the staging area


git add .

v) Committing the file


git commit -m “adds a hello file”

vi) Tag the commit


git tag v1.0

(To see the tag run git log, v1.0 will be present there)
5) Advanced Git Operations Write the command to cherry-pick a range
of commits from "source-branch" to the current branch

i) Create a new folder called “aec” and switch into the folder
mkdir aec
cd aec

ii) To initialize git repository


git init

iii) Create a new file called “hello.txt”


touch hello.txt

iv) Add the file to the staging area


git add .

v) Committing the file


git commit -m “adds a hello file”

vi) Copy the commit hash from the git log


git log

Here the commit hash is the full word from 5fe8….c354 (copy the entire
thing it will be different in your commit)

vi) Cherry pick the commit


git cherry-pick commit-hash
(Replace the commit-hash with the copied commit hash, should get
message like this)
6) Analysing and Changing Git History

i) Create a new folder called “aec” and switch into the folder
mkdir aec
cd aec

ii) To initialize git repository


git init

iii) Create a new file called “hello.txt”


touch hello.txt

iv) Add the file to the staging area


git add .

v) Committing the file


git commit -m “adds a hello file”

vi) Copy any of the commit hash by doing


git log

a) Given a commit ID, how would you use Git to view the details of that
specific commit, including the author, date, and commit message?
git show commit-hash

b) Write the command to list all commits made by the author "JohnDoe"
between "2023-01-01" and "2023-12-31."
git log --author="JohnDoe" --since="2023-01-01" --until="2023-12-31"

history.
