Use the Git messages below to practice understanding Git and chunking down a problem.

Break it down

  • For each image, use plain English to break down what is happening.
  • What is the user trying to accomplish? What is the response?
  • Walk through it step by step, e.g.
    • 'user checks status'
    • 'status comes back with a conflict'
    • 'user does xyz'

Seek

If you don't recognise something, find out what it is. Are there new terms you don't recognise?

Reflect

  • Navigate to your cloned reflections repo on your computer
  • Create a file named stretch-git-msgs.md in the sprint-1 folder
  • Open the file and for each of the following images, write your analysis of what is happening
  • Describe what you learned from this exercise
