Interviewer: Can you rate 0-10 your git skill?

Git clone
Git add .
Git commit
Git push
Git pull

That’s all I know

HEAD^10

3

I am familiar with clone, commit, init, pull, push, status, branch, merge, fetch, checkout, add, rm, and probably a couple other commands. I use git every day, but only in my little silo. I still don't really know enough about stash and rebase.

I know enough to do my job and the rest is a giant mystery.

@bahua stash is one I actually use a lot.

It depends on how awake I am. If I'm sleepy, I'm a 3. I'll accidentally add my dotfiles and then have to go undo everything because I don't feel like figuring out which chain of commands I need for a good forcepush state. Except undoing is too much work, even with git bisect (worth learning how to use!) So I'll just reclone and add all my changes back at once in a big commit.

When focused I'd say maybe a 7-8 (heh, I'm pretty confident, throwing around my rebases and stashes and cherrypicks over here and don't forget about reflog when in trouble).

But in all seriousness I don't know what would make someone a 10, so I can't really guess where I'd put myself. I could be closer to a 5.

One thing I can say, to all you who commit massive zip files of code, or binaries, or even other git repos: shame on you. I hate that. Please look into git-lfs, and use git submodules. They exist for a reason :)

Also I love git-annex, though it has a bit of a learning curve before you can really use it.

Look at that, exactly 1000 chars.

git init
git clone
git add -A
git status
git log
git diff (commit id)
git commit -m "commit message"
git pull
git push
git branch branchname
git checkout branchname
git merge currentbranchname

So I'm at least a perfect 12/10. ;)

@arcadesdude guess that means @devTea has 5/7 perfect score

Can I add - in front of 10??🤔😂😂😂

Depending on the availability of the manual and access to the stack overflow.

-10, 0xff, 11, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Don't just tell him, go in for the buffer overflow. Maybe you can overwrite the memory address with your salary.

Me: Yes.

Solid 8, but nearing 9. After I can handle the "plumbing" if needed then 10.

4 i guess
But the answer to interviewer's question would be "no"

Using embedded Git on Android Studio. It's very easy and simple but just has a problem: u can't remove any file from here.
