M02 SELF-CHECK

Module 2 self-check

Five questions · 4/5 to pass · unlimited retry

1. What does staging select? The current contents for the next commit. Every future edit to the same file. A remote upload destination.

2. What does a clean Git status establish? All physical behavior is correct. The relevant repository states agree under tracking/ignore rules. Every test ran successfully.

3. The editor shows the right file but a command cannot find scripts. What should you inspect first? Terminal working directory and expected root files. Account billing plan. Warning threshold implementation.

4. After a baseline commit, harmless build-note.tmp is newly staged by mistake. Which operation preserves the file while unselecting it? git restore --staged -- build-note.tmp Delete the entire repository. git restore -- README.md

5. Ordinary diff shows a later README edit; cached diff shows an earlier README edit. What would a commit record now? Both versions automatically. Only the latest editor text. The staged version shown by the cached comparison.

Read the correct answers and explanations

Question 1

The current contents for the next commit.

Correct: staging records content at the time of selection.

The current contents for the next commit.: Correct: staging records content at the time of selection.
Every future edit to the same file.: Later edits can remain unstaged and need separate review.
A remote upload destination.: Remotes configure destinations; staging chooses snapshot contents.

Question 2

The relevant repository states agree under tracking/ignore rules.

Correct: it describes Git state, not engineering correctness.

All physical behavior is correct.: Repository state does not measure hardware.
The relevant repository states agree under tracking/ignore rules.: Correct: it describes Git state, not engineering correctness.
Every test ran successfully.: Test success requires an actual command and result.

Question 3

Terminal working directory and expected root files.

Correct: relative paths follow the terminal location.

Terminal working directory and expected root files.: Correct: relative paths follow the terminal location.
Account billing plan.: Billing cannot explain a local relative-path mismatch.
Warning threshold implementation.: Changing policy does not fix a wrong folder.

Question 4

git restore --staged -- build-note.tmp

Correct: this updates staging and retains working content in the specified state.

git restore --staged -- build-note.tmp: Correct: this updates staging and retains working content in the specified state.
Delete the entire repository.: Deletion loses useful work and does not match the task.
git restore -- README.md: This targets another file and working content, not the unwanted staging selection.

Question 5

The staged version shown by the cached comparison.

Correct: inspect and restage if the later edit should be included.

Both versions automatically.: A commit records one selected snapshot, not both versions.
Only the latest editor text.: Later working edits do not automatically join staging.
The staged version shown by the cached comparison.: Correct: inspect and restage if the later edit should be included.
