DevSecOps Test Paper

GIT:
1) Write a command to revert a commit that has already been pushed and made public.
Answer-1 : git revert <commit-id>
We can get commit id from git log.

2) Write a command to squash the last N commits into a single commit.

Answer-2: git rebase -i HEAD~N

3) Suppose one of your teammates accidentally deleted a branch and pushed the changes to the
central git repo. There are no other git repos, and none of your teammates had a local copy. How
would you recover this branch? Write the steps of commands.
Answer-3 git reflog delete-branch-name
Git checkout -b <new-branch> <commit-id-deleted>
Git add .
Git commit -m “”
Git push origin master

4) Write the commands to cherry-pick a merge commit?

Answer-4: git cherry-pick <commit-id>

5) What is a merge conflict in git and how can it be resolved? Write the appropriate commands.
Answer-5 : merge conflict is conflict occur because of changes in a file where one of the branch contents
got modified.
It can be resolved while keeping the desired content and removing the unwanted one.
File get open like >>> and <<<<. Keep the desired changes.
git add <filename>
git commit -m “commit message”
git push origin master
git merge or can share the PR who has merge access.

PYTHON:

6) Write a function named 'format_number' that takes a non-negative number as its only parameter.
Your function should convert the number to a string and add commas as a thousand separators. For
example, calling format_number(1000000) should return "1,000,000".
Answer6-
n=Int(“input number”)
String(n)
 If n>0

def format_number(num):
if num<0:
print(“error”)
else:
num1=str(num)
temp_list=[]
temp_list2=[]
for I in range(len(num1)):
temp_list.append(i)
for j in range(0,len(temp_list),-3):
temp_list2.insert(i,”,”)
return temp_list2

7) Write a function in Python to parse a string such that it accepts a parameter- an encoded string. This
encoded string will contain a first name, last name, and an id. You can separate the values in the
string by any number of zeros. The id will not contain any zeros. The function should return a Python
dictionary with the first name, last name, and id values. For example, if the input would be
"John000Doe000123".
Then the function should return: { "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe", "id": "123" }

Answer-7 : Input_string="John000Doe000123"

def parse_string(input_string):

print (input_string)

temp_list=[]

list_out=input_string.split(0)  [john,,,]

for i in range(len(list_out)):

if i !=’’:

temp_list.append()
 return {“first_name” : temp_list[0], “last_name”: temp_list[1], “id”: temp_list[-1]}

1) What are *args and **kwargs in Python functions?

Answer-8: *arg -> It is the argument variable used in the function to take multiple arguments as tuple.
**kwargs – It is also the argument variable used in the function to take multiple argument
as dictionary.

JENKINS:

2) How is continuous integration achieved using Jenkins?

Answer-9 – continuous integration is achieved using the Jenkins in the way that whenever developer
push the code in the repository then the build gets trigger automatically provided it is enabled in the
Jenkins while creating the pipeline. This process continue as per stages mentioned in the Jenkins file
resulting continuous Deployment or Continuous Delivery.

3) What is Groovy in Jenkins?

Answer-10: groovy is the language used in the Jenkins to achieve the CI/CD.

4) How do you install Jenkins?

Answer-11 : Jenkins can be installed in following way-

a) Check the official website to check the perquisites and follow the instruction.

b) Install the java on the machine you wants to install jenkins

c) Install the Jenkins using yum or apt-get depends on linux flavor or can be install using binary.
