Quest #1 - Add, commit and push

This quest belongs to the Simple Workflow part. It means you will learn the basic usage of Git. Don’t hesitate to read the article introducing concepts for this part.

In this quest, you’ll learn to:

  • put all modified files in the staging area

  • create a new version with modified files

  • send your commit to the server

Here are the instructions for your quest, read them carefully. The weapon section helps you to figure out which commands you’ll need to complete this quest.

Problem

You modified index.js
Mission

Commit and push all changes to the server
Weapons

add commit push
Workspace

~/git-quest/quest1/git-quest1

If you’re already confident with add, commit and push you can still read the Short answer to understand this quest intent.

 Remember you don’t need to edit the project files. If you’re in trouble, reset this quest with git-quest init 1.

Before you start

Run git-quest init 1 to setup your environment for this quest. To ensure you can begin your quest in good conditions, go to the quest repository: ~/git-quest/quest1/git-quest1.

And run the two following commands to make sure both project and repository are in the right state.

Repository status
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        modified:   index.js

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
 Didn’t get same results ? Reset the quest by running git-quest init 1 again

From here, if you’re familiar with git, go ahead and try to complete your quest on your own. Besides, for apprentices, I’ld recommand to follow the step by step solution first. Then, reset the quest and try to complete it without any help.

Check your result

Once you think you finished the quest, run the following command and check the output.

$ git show --name-only
commit a74355f413554c0334fe03fa5fd76b31247d5982 (HEAD -> master, origin/master) (3)
Author: jbardon <bardonjeremy1@gmail.com>
Date:   Fri Dec 7 12:39:20 2018 +0100

    Print the message in ASCII art (1)

index.js (2)
(END)

  1. Your commit message

  2. Files in the commit: only index.js

  3. Commit location: local (HEAD → master) and remote (HEAD → origin/master)

If you can’t see your commit, you must make your commit first. You miss something if you get an error or something different.

If you completed this quest on your own, it’s still relevant for you to read the Short answer. You can compare your solution with mine.
