GitRuler Practice A-C

This repository provides you with practice of the skills that you have learned in exercises A to C. The topics that are tested in this exercise are:

1. Committing new and existing files
2. Create commits that contains only specific files
3. Ignoring files
4. Finding the status of files in the working directory.

Introduction

This exercise involves a car salesman who has a several cars that he is selling. Each car has a file in files/cars. The name of the file is the make of car followed by the registration number.

Tidying up the car files

Currently all of the files are in a single folder. Also some files have been created or changed but not committed. Our first job is to commit the changes, then to tidy up the files.

1. Run gitruler to initialise the exercise
2. There are changes to some existing files since the last commit. Commit these changes with the message "Update car details for bank holiday sale".
3. There are also some new, untracked files in the files/cars folder. Commit them with the message "Add new cars for bank holiday sale".

Our salesman wants a separate folder for luxury cars.

1. Create a folder inside files/cars called luxury.
2. Move all Mercedes and Ferrari files to the luxury folder and commit this change with the message "Move luxury cars to own folder".

Stop selling Non-luxury, Italian cars

Our salesman decides he no longer wants to sell cheap Italian cars. He wants to remove the files for existing ones, and set up git to ignore all future ones.

1. Remove from git all Fiat cars.
2. Tell git to ignore all files relating to Fiat.
