Answer Key
What a code repository is
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
B — A storage location holding a project's files and full change history
Q2
A — A local repository
Q3
A — A project hosted on GitHub
Q4
A — False: it stores the full change history
Q5
B — Team members can all access and share the same code
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
git init → Creates a new local repository in the current folder so Git starts tracking the project's files and history
Q2
git clone https://github.com/team/app.git → Copies a remote repository from GitHub onto your computer, including its full change history
Q3
A remote repository is hosted online so a whole team can share access to the same project → git remote add origin https://github.com/team/app.git
Q4
A repository keeps the full change history, so every saved version of the code acts as a backup → git log
Q5
A local repository is stored on GitHub so teammates can all access it → A local repository is stored on your own computer. A repository hosted online, such as on GitHub, is a remote repository.
Q6
A repository only stores the latest copy of each file and no earlier versions → A repository stores the full change history, not just the latest files, so earlier versions can be recovered.
Section C: Definitions
Q1
repository — A storage location for a project's files and full change history. It can be local or remote (e.g. GitHub), lets a team share code, and keeps a backup of every version.Section D: Fill in the Blanks
Q1
git initQ2
git clone https://github.com/team/app.gitQ3
git remote -vQ4
git log --onelineQ5
git push origin mainSection E: Spot the Error
Q1
B — The folder was created as my_game, so cd must use the same name: cd my_game. Then git init turns that folder into a local repository.
Q2
D — The command is git log, not git logs. It shows the full change history stored in the repository.
Q3
B — git commit needs the -m flag before the message: git commit -m "Add notes". The commit saves a snapshot into the repository history.
Q4
A — A new local repository is created with git init. git new is not a git command.
Q5
C — To back up commits to the remote repository (e.g. GitHub) you push them: git push origin main. git pull downloads changes instead.
