Git and GitHub Masterclass - The Practical Bootcamp - Git Lifecycle In-Depth

The video tutorial explains the Git workflow, including the working directory, staging area, local and remote repositories. It covers file statuses such as untracked, modified, and unmodified, and demonstrates how to track files using git add. The tutorial also details the process of committing and pushing changes, emphasizing the importance of understanding the working directory. The instructor encourages viewers to practice these concepts to gain a deeper understanding.

What is the first step in the Git workflow?

• Pushing changes to the remote repository

• Working in the working directory

• Committing changes to the local repository

• Adding changes to the staging area

Which command is used to check the status of files in Git?

• git verify

• git status

• git inspect

• git check

What does it mean when a file is 'untracked' in Git?

• The file is pushed to the remote repository

• The file is not yet added to the staging area

• The file has been modified

• The file is committed to the local repository

How can you move a file from untracked to tracked status in Git?

• By using 'git add'

• By using 'git commit'

• By using 'git push'

• By using 'git status'

What command would you use to add all changes in the working directory to the staging area?

• git status -a

• git commit -a

• git add .

• git push origin

What happens to files in the staging area when you run 'git commit'?

• They are deleted from the working directory

• They are moved to the remote repository

• They are marked as untracked

• They are saved in the local repository

What is the significance of committing changes in Git?

• It saves changes to the remote repository

• It deletes files from the staging area

• It marks files as untracked

• It records changes in the local repository

What state are files in after they have been committed and no further changes have been made?

• Untracked

• Staged

• Unmodified

• Modified

Why is it important to understand the states of files in the working directory?

• To ensure files are always untracked

• To manage changes effectively in the Git workflow

• To prevent files from being committed

• To avoid using the staging area

What does the 'git push' command do?

• It adds files to the staging area

• It commits changes to the local repository

• It updates the remote repository with local commits

• It checks the status of files
