GDSC FOSS WING

Prerequisites :

Ensure that Git is installed on your computer, along with Git Bash for Windows. To complete the tasks, follow these steps:

• Fork the Repository: Fork the GDSC-FOSS repository to your GitHub account.
• Clone the Repository: Clone your forked repository to your local machine.
• Create a New Branch: Switch to a new branch named after your roll number.
• Make Changes: Implement the required changes in the new branch.
• Push Changes: Push the changes to your forked repository on GitHub.
• Create a Pull Request: Open a pull request from your branch to the main branch of the GDSC-FOSS repository.

Note: You should create separate pull requests for each task. If your task meets the specified instructions and is correct, it will be merged into the main branch of the repository. Each pull request should be from a branch whose name is <your roll number> - <task number>. For those who have already made pull request before instruction update, if it meets the requirements it will be merged.

Task Instructions:

Each Task should be committed in contributors / <your roll number> / <task number> / file.txt.
Note:

• Each commit should have a message that briefly describes the change it introduces. The screenshot required should be saved in the contributors / <roll number> / <task number> folder with name <screenshot_number>.png(or jpg or jpeg).
  
• You have to use git log or git log --oneline command in git bash for the screenshots and NOT from the github interface.
• The Pull Request should NOT contain any redundant commits, i.e. only the meaningful commits will be accepted.

Task-1 Steps

1. On your created branch, add the name of your favorite food to the first line of a designated text file.

• Commit: Save this change with a commit message, such as "Added favorite food".

2. Create a new branch named second_branch, using the initial branch as the base.

3. On the second_branch branch, add the name of your dream company on the second line of the same text file.

• Commit: Save this change with a commit message, like "Added dream company".

4. Switch back to the initial branch and add the name of your city on the second line, just below your favorite food.

5. Commit this change on your initial branch with a message such as "Added city name".

6. Merge the second_branch branch into your initial branch.

7. Resolve any merge conflicts that arise during the merge process. The final format of the file should be:

• First line: Favorite food
• Second line: City name
• Third line: Dream company

8. Create a final commit after resolving the merge conflict. Ensure the commit message clearly indicates that the conflict has been resolved.

9. Capture a screenshot showing all commits made during this task.

10. Push your changes and create a pull request.

Task-2 Steps

1. Make three separate changes in your working directory and commit each change individually. Follow the instructions below for each commit:

• First Commit: Write your full name on the first line of the designated text file and commit this change with a message like "Initial commit with full name."
• Second Commit: Add your favorite tech stack on the second line of the same text file and commit this change with a message such as "Added favorite tech stack."
• Third Commit: Write your hobby on the third line of the file and commit this change with a message like "Added hobby."

2. Perform a soft reset to undo the last two commits, keeping their changes in your working directory as unstaged files. The first commit should remain intact in the commit history.

3. Stage all the unstaged changes from the reset (corresponding to the second and third commits) and combine them into a single final commit.

• Final Commit: Save this commit with a message like "Combined changes from reset commits."

4. Confirm that the final commit reflects the combined changes from the previously reset commits and that the commit history now shows the first original commit followed by the final combined commit.
