Homework 1: Gitting Started

Some questions will ask you to submit a file. You should combine all of your files into a zip folder named ANDREWID.zip and submit it at this Dropbox File Request link. Your zip folder should look like this:

          ANDREWID.zip/
            question-2/
            left-pad/
            question-4.txt
        

1. Install git on your personal computer. Instructions are on the course website. You don't have to write anything for this part.
2. Create a new folder named question-2 and create an empty git repository inside.
3. Clone the repository at https://github.com/stevemao/left-pad.
4. In a file called question-4.txt, answer the following questions on separate lines:
   • What command is used to view the commit history of a repository?
   • Clone the repository at https://github.com/autolab/Autolab. Who (first name, last name) wrote the commit with the short hash 73601bc? Use git commands to determine this.
   • Who is the creator of git?
   • Is git a CVCS or a DVCS?
