🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Clone the Repository

First, clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/brain-bremen/GitExercise.git
cd GitExercise

Step 2: Create Your Branch

Each student should create their own branch. Replace X with your student number (01-20):

git switch -c student-X

For example, if you are Student 5:

git switch -c student-5

Step 3: Work on Your Exercise

1. Open your assigned exercise file (e.g., exercise_05.py for Student 5)
2. Read the task description in the comments
3. Implement the required function
4. Test your code by running the file:

python exercise_05.py

Step 4: Commit Your Changes

Once you've completed your exercise, save and commit your changes:

# Check which files have been modified
git status

# Add your exercise file to staging
git add exercise_05.py

# Commit your changes with a meaningful message
git commit -m "Completed exercise 5: String Length"

Step 5: Push Your Branch

Push your branch to the remote repository:

git push origin student-5

If this is your first push on this branch, Git might ask you to set the upstream branch:

git push -u origin student-5

📚 Useful Git Commands

Here are some helpful Git commands you might need:

# Check current branch
git branch

# View commit history
git log

# View changes you've made
git diff

# Discard changes in a file (be careful!)
git checkout -- exercise_05.py

# Pull latest changes from main branch
git pull origin main

# Switch back to main branch
git checkout main

# Switch to your branch
git checkout student-5

✅ Tips for Success

1. Test your code before committing - make sure it runs without errors
2. Write clear commit messages - describe what you changed
3. Use your own branch - don't work on the main branch or other students' branches
4. Ask for help if you get stuck with Git or Python
5. Save often and commit regularly

🆘 Common Issues

Problem: git push is rejected

• Solution: Make sure you're on your own branch: git branch

Problem: Changes not showing up

• Solution: Make sure you saved the file and added it: git add exercise_XX.py

Problem: Merge conflicts

• Solution: Ask your instructor for help
