Octocat Challenge

TASKS:

  • Create a new repository on Github to store a list of test questions for this test. Call the repository "Octocat".
  • Clone it locally into your dev folder making sure you don't get unnecessary double nesting, e.g. ~/projects/repo_name/repo_name/repo_files
  • Create one file for each of the following questions on the master branch. Put each question (not answer) in its own file.
    • Explain what git clone does, in your own words
    • Explain what the "upstream" remote is usually used for, in your own words
    • Explain what a branch is, in your own words
  • Do a commit after you create each file
  • Create a new branch "answers"
  • Update the files, replacing the questions with answers.
  • Do a commit after you write each answer
  • Make sure both branches are pushed back to github
