CompTIA Linux+ Exam XK0-004: Troubleshooting Git Version Control System

Failed Git Command: git push

Question

An engineer is working on a production application deployment that requires changing a web application property file called server.property that is managed by the Git version control system.

A cloned copy of the remote repository in which the server.property file exists is on the local desktop computer.

The engineer makes appropriate changes to the files, saves it as server.property, and executes git commit '"m 'changed the property file' server.property.

Which of the following commands did the engineer fail to perform?

The engineer failed to perform the git add command.

Explanation: Git is a version control system that allows developers to track changes in source code during software development. The Git workflow typically involves the following steps:

  1. Clone a repository to create a local copy of the codebase
  2. Modify the code locally
  3. Stage the changes for a commit
  4. Commit the changes to the local repository
  5. Push the changes to the remote repository

In this scenario, the engineer made changes to the server.property file and saved it as server.property. To commit these changes, the engineer needs to stage the changes using the git add command. This command tells Git to track changes made to the specified file and prepares it for a commit.

The correct command sequence for the workflow would be:

  1. Make the changes to the file
  2. Stage the changes using git add server.property
  3. Commit the changes using git commit -m "changed the property file server.property"
  4. Push the changes to the remote repository using git push

Therefore, the correct answer is C. git add server.property. The git init command is used to create a new Git repository, and it's not necessary in this scenario. The git merge command is used to merge changes from one branch into another, and it's not applicable in this scenario. The git push command is used to push changes from the local repository to the remote repository, but it's not necessary until after the changes have been committed.
