Example GitHub quiz questions to practice

What does git commit do?It records a snapshot of staged changes in the local repository history. The commit stays on your machine until you push it to a remote.

What is the difference between git fetch and git pull?git fetch downloads remote changes without merging them into your branch, while git pull fetches and then merges. Fetch is safer when you want to review changes first.

True or false: git clone copies a remote repository, including its full history, to your machine.True. Cloning downloads all branches and commit history, so you can inspect the project and work offline.

What does a .gitignore file do?It lists files and folders Git should not track, such as build output or local secrets. Files Git already tracks must be removed from the index before ignore rules apply to them.

What is a fork on GitHub?A fork is your own copy of another repository under your account. You use it to propose changes through a pull request without write access to the original.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should I practice for a git and GitHub quiz?

Start with 10 to 15 questions per session so you can read each explanation. Repeat missed questions over several days, since reviewing git commands spaced out works better than cramming.

What should a GitHub quiz cover?

Focus on core commands like clone, commit, fetch and pull, plus branching, pull requests, forks and .gitignore. Questions about what each command changes locally versus on the remote are especially useful.

Can I export my GitHub quiz?

Export is a paid feature. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro.

Do I need a credit card to try it?
