Checkpoint: Collaborating on GitHub

Question 1 of 5

• GitHub’s page is cached and the commit isn’t really there.
• git status ignores commits older than a day.
• The commit was pushed to a different remote.
• Status compares with your last-known origin/main, which only updates when you fetch; run git fetch and check again.

Question 2 of 5

• The remote origin hasn’t been added yet.
• The branch has never been pushed, so it has no upstream; run git push -u origin contact-form.
• Your credentials have expired.
• You need to git pull before pushing a new branch.

Question 3 of 5

• Squash and merge
• Create a merge commit
• Rebase and merge
• Close the pull request and push the changes directly

Question 4 of 5

• git pull origin main
• git clone the original into the same folder.
• git remote add upstream <original-url>, then git fetch upstream and merge upstream/main.
• Delete your fork and fork again.

Question 5 of 5

• Fixes isn’t a recognised keyword; only Closes works.
• Closing keywords take effect only when the pull request is merged into the default branch.
• The keyword must be in the pull request title, not the description.
• Issues can only be closed by the person who opened them.
