Day 9 Task: Deep Dive in Git & GitHub for DevOps Engineers.

1) What is Git and why is it important?

Git is a DevOps tool used for source code management. It is a free and open-source version control system used to handle small to very large projects efficiently.

2) What is difference Between Main Branch and Master Branch?

A branch is essentially is a unique set of code changes with a unique name. Each repository can have one or more branches.

The main branch — the one where all changes eventually get merged back into, and is called master.

3) Can you explain the difference between Git and GitHub?

While Git is a tool that's used to manage multiple versions of source code edits that are then transferred to files in a Git repository,

GitHub serves as a location for uploading copies of a Git repository. In a sense, then, there's no comparison when it comes to Git vs. GitHub as far as their function.

4) How do you create a new repository on GitHub?

1. In the upper-right corner of any page, use the drop-down menu, and select New repository.
2. Type a short, memorable name for your repository. ...
3. Optionally, add a description of your repository. ...
4. Choose a repository visibility. ...
5. Select Initialize this repository with a README.
6. Click Create repository.

5) What is difference between local & remote repository? How to connect local to remote?

Local repositories reside on the computers of team members. In contrast, remote repositories are hosted on a server that is accessible for all team members - most likely on the internet or on a local network.

task-1:

- Set your user name and email address, which will be associated with your commits.

task-2:

- Create a repository named "Devops" on GitHub

- Connect your local repository to the repository on GitHub.

- Create a new file in Devops/Git/Day-02.txt & add some content to it

- Push your local commits to the repository on GitHub
