Questions

Answer the following questions to test your knowledge of this chapter:

How can you avoid having a large number of build artifacts appear in the git status output?
Let’s assume that you use a custom domain-specific language (DSL) or a programming language without built-in support in Git, such as Julia. How can you configure Git so that it provides better support for this language?
How can you squash the two most recent commits while making one commit out of them?
How can you split the most recent commit into two commits?
What should you do if an urgent change is needed (for example, because of a security bug) but the working area is in a messy state and you don’t want to lose your work?
How can you search through an old revision of the project – for example, a version tagged v0.1 – without checking out that revision?

Narębski

Narębski

Jakub Narębski followed Git development from the very beginning of its creation. He created, announced, and analyzed the annual Git User's Surveys from 2007 till 2012 – all except the first one (you can find his analysis of those surveys on the Git wiki). He shares his expertise in the technology on the StackOverflow question-and-answer site. He is one of the editors of Git Rev News, which is a monthly digest of all things Git. He is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland. He uses Git as his version control system of choice both for personal and professional work and teaches it to computer science students as a part of their coursework. Jakub Narębski was one of the proofreaders of the Version Control by Example book by Eric Sink, and was the reason why it has a chapter on Git.
