Git Create Branches

Question:  Nautilus developers are actively working on one of the project repositories, /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/official. They recently decided to implement some new features in the application, and they want to maintain those new changes in a separate branch. Below are the requirements that have been shared with the DevOps team:

On Storage server in Stratos DC create a new branch xfusioncorp_official from master branch in /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/official git repo.

Please do not try to make any changes in code.

Please Note :-  Perform the below commands based on your question server,  user name & other details that might differ. So please read the task carefully before executing it.

 All the Best 👍

Solution:   

1. Login on storage server  & Switch Root user    

thor@jump_host ~$ ssh natasha@ststor01 The authenticity of host 'ststor01 (172.16.238.15)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:n3JNs9ck2GulrVCAS9VfYwuMlTaCIV5NZi3RJK10pUg. ECDSA key fingerprint is MD5:45:19:c4:f0:1e:1e:77:bc:c0:43:b6:e9:0a:29:fa:46. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'ststor01,172.16.238.15' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. natasha@ststor01's password: [natasha@ststor01 ~]$ sudo su - We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:     #1) Respect the privacy of others.     #2) Think before you type.     #3) With great power comes great responsibility. [sudo] password for natasha: [root@ststor01 ~]#

 2. go to project repositories given in the task

[root@ststor01 ~]# cd /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/official [root@ststor01 official]# ll total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Jul 28 05:18 data.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Jul 28 05:18 info.txt [root@ststor01 official]#

3. Checkout  to master, since its need to create a new branch from master

[root@ststor01 official]# git checkout master Switched to branch 'master' [root@ststor01 official]#

  

4. Create a new branch from master as per the task

[root@ststor01 official]# git checkout -b xfusioncorp_official Switched to a new branch 'xfusioncorp_official' [root@ststor01 official]# [root@ststor01 official]# git status # On branch xfusioncorp_official nothing to commit, working directory clean [root@ststor01 official]#

5. validate the task by running

    

[root@ststor01 official]# git branch -a   kodekloud_official   master * xfusioncorp_official   remotes/origin/master [root@ststor01 official]#

6. Click on Finish & Confirm to complete the task successfully
