- Introduction to Version Control with Git.
- Basic Git commands: clone, add, commit, push, pull, branch, merge.
- Setting up and using a GitHub account for project management and collaboration.
- Command Line Interface (CLI) basics and its role in software development.
- Essential CLI commands for navigating directories, managing files, and using Git.
By the end of this week, students should be able to:
- Understand the concept of version control and the importance of Git in software development.
- Perform basic Git operations to manage version control in their projects.
- Use GitHub for hosting code repositories and collaborating with others.
- Navigate and execute basic tasks in the Command Line Interface.
- Apply CLI commands to work with Git and manage code versions efficiently.
- Objective: Utilize Git and command line interfaces (CLI) to document and version-control a series of CLI commands.
- Step-by-Step Guide:
- Initialize a new Git repository on your local machine for this project.
- Create a file named
README.mdin your repository. This file will serve as the main document for this assignment. - Write about a CLI command you've learned this week in the
README.mdfile. Describe what the command does and provide an example of its usage. - After writing about the command, commit the changes to your Git repository with a descriptive commit message that reflects the additions.
- Push the commit to a remote repository on a platform like GitHub after each command is documented.
- Repeat this process for a total of five CLI commands, ensuring each command is committed and pushed separately.
- Deliverables:
- A
README.mdfile in your repository that documents five CLI commands learned during the week. - A series of at least five commits showing the incremental documentation of each CLI command.
- A link to the remote repository showcasing the final project with all commits and the push history.

- Git: A distributed version control system used for tracking changes in source code during software development.
- GitHub: A web-based hosting service for version control using Git, offering collaboration features like bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.
- Command Line Interface (CLI): A text-based interface used to interact with software and operating systems by typing commands into a console.
- Version Control: The practice of tracking and managing changes to software code.
- Repository (Repo): A directory where Git stores the history of changes to your project files.
