By the end of this lab, students will be able to effectively use Git to manage and collaborate on software projects. Specifically, they will be able to:
- Commit Changes: Understand and execute the process of staging and committing changes to a local Git repository, including writing meaningful commit messages that accurately reflect the nature of the changes.
- Create and Manage Branches: Demonstrate the ability to create, switch between, and delete branches to isolate and manage different lines of development within a project.
- Push Changes: Effectively push local commits to a remote repository, ensuring that changes are synchronized and available to collaborators.
- Merge Branches: Execute branch merging operations to integrate changes from one branch into another, including resolving conflicts that may arise during the merge process.
- Create and Manage Pull Requests: Create, review, and manage pull requests in a remote repository hosting service (e.g., GitHub) to propose changes, conduct code reviews, and facilitate collaborative development
