Complete Git Guide: Understand and Master Git and GitHub - Creating a Remote Branch Based on a Local Branch

This video tutorial explains how to manage branches in Git, including creating local branches, pushing them to a remote repository, and verifying their existence. It covers the use of Git commands like 'git branch', 'git push', and 'git log', and explains how to set up tracking between local and remote branches. The tutorial also touches on configuring Git to set author information for commits.

What command is used to list all local branches in a Git repository?

• git checkout

• git branch

• git branch -r

• git status

What is the purpose of creating a new local branch in Git?

• To delete existing branches

• To make changes without affecting the main branch

• To view commit history

• To merge branches

Why is a newly created local branch not automatically created on the remote repository?

• Because it requires a special Git command

• Because local branches are private by default

• Because remote branches are created automatically

• Because Git does not support remote branches

Which Git command is used to push a local branch to a remote repository and set it to track the remote branch?

• git commit -m

• git fetch

• git push -u origin

• git push origin

What does the 'U' option in the Git push command signify?

• Undo the last commit

• Set upstream for the branch

• Unset the remote branch

• Update the local branch

How can you verify that a local branch is tracking a remote branch?

• By using git branch -v

• By using git log

• By using git status

• By using git fetch

What happens when you push changes from a local branch that is already tracking a remote branch?

• The local branch is deleted

• Changes are automatically pushed to the remote branch

• The remote branch is renamed

• You need to specify the remote branch name again
