💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'git commit' instead of 'git checkout'.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'git branch' alone does not switch branches.

Using 'git merge' to create branches.

The git checkout -b command creates a new branch and switches to it immediately.

3fill in blank

Fix the error in the command to list all branches including remote ones.

Git

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'git checkout -a' which is invalid.

Using 'git status -a' which does not list branches.

The git branch -a command lists all local and remote branches.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a new branch 'release' and push it to the remote repository.

Git

git [1] -b release && git [2] -u origin release

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Acheckout

Bpush

Ccommit

Dmerge

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'git commit' instead of 'git push' to upload branch.

Using 'git merge' incorrectly here.

First, git checkout -b release creates and switches to the new branch. Then, git push -u origin release pushes it to the remote and sets upstream tracking.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps branch names to their last commit hash, filtering only branches starting with 'feature'.

Git

{branch[1]: commits[branch] for branch in branches if branch[2]('feature') and commits[branch][3] ''}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A.upper()

B.startswith(

C!=

D==

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '==' instead of '!=' to check non-empty commits.

Not using '.startswith(' to filter branches.

The comprehension converts branch names to uppercase keys, filters branches starting with 'feature', and includes only those with a non-empty commit hash.
