EXPERIMENT NO. 1:
Aim: Introducing Version Control – Git client (CLI, GUI), Linux environment
Emulation, Advantages of VCS, Installing git CLI and git GUI.

Theory:
What is Git?
Git is a free and open-source version control system used to handle small to very large
projects efficiently. This is also used for tracking changes in any set of files and usually
helps in coordinating work among members of a team. Hence, enables multiple
developers to work together on non-linear development.
History of VCS: The very first Version Control System was created in 1972 at Bell
Labs where they also developed UNIX. The first one was called SCCS (Source Code
Control System). It was available only for UNIX and only worked with Source Code
files. Some types of Version Control Systems are:
• Local VCS: No internet is needed because it uses a database to keep and track of
files.
• Centralized VCS: Centralized version control systems are based on the idea that there
is a single “central” copy of your project somewhere (probably on a server), and
programmers will “commit” their changes to this central copy. This simply means
recording the change in the central system (OS).

• Distributed VCS: A type of version control where the complete codebase including its
full version history is mirrored on every developer's computer.

 How to install GIT on Windows?
There are many ways to install Git on Windows. The most official build is available
for download on the Git website. Go to https://gitscm.com/download/win and after a
few settings the download will start automatically.

o Visit directly on git book page by https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

o Then click on Installation Git and click on whatever system you want, available are
three- Windows, Apple and Linux.

o After some more simple and easy settings and choosing your favourable environment
and doing some SSH settings, it finally starts exporting the files in system and
completes the Git hub wizard.

Experiment 2
Aim: Setting up GitHub Account and Adding Collaborators on GitHub
Repository

Theory:
Whenever you make a repository in GitHub, not everyone has the permission to
change or push codes into your repository. The users have a read-only access. In
order to allow other individuals to make changes to your repository, you need to
invite them to collaborate to the project.

GitHub also restricts the number of collaborators we can invite within a

period of 24 hours. If we exceed the limit, then either we have to wait for 24-
hours or we can also create an organization to collaborate with more people.

Being a collaborator, the user can create, merge and close pull requests in
the repository. They can also remove them as the collaborator.

Procedure:

1. Login to your GitHub account and you will land on

the homepage as shown below. Click on
Repositories option in the menu bar.

2. Click on the ‘New’ button in the top right corner.

3. Enter the Repository name and add

4. Select if you want the repository to be public or private.

5. If you want to import code from an existing

repository select the import code option.

6. Now, you have created your repository successfully.

7. To add collaborators to your repository, open your

repository and select settings option in the
navigation bar.

8. Click on Collaborators option under the access tab.

9. After clicking on collaborators, GitHub asks you

to enter your password to confirm the access to the
repository.

16

10.After entering the password, you can manage access andadd/remove team
members to your project.

11.To add members, click on the add people option

and search the id of your respective team member.

12.To remove any member, click on remove option

available in the last column of member’s
respective row.

Experiment 3
Aim:

To merge two branches within a repository in Git.

Theory:

Branching in Git allows developers to work on different features or bug fixes

independently. Once changes are complete, they need to be merged back into the main
branch to integrate the new code. Git provides various methods for merging branches,
including:

 Fast-forward merge: When no new commits are added to the main branch since
branching.
 Three-way merge: When the main branch has diverged, requiring Git to create a
new merge commit.

Procedure:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the Git repository.

2. Check the existing branches using:

3.Switch to the main branch:

4. Merge the feature branch into the main branch:

5. If there are conflicts, resolve them manually in the affected files.

6. After resolving conflicts, add the changes:

7. Commit the merge:

Experiment 4
Aim:

To demonstrate push and pull operations in Git.

Theory:

The push and pull commands are used to synchronize a local repository with a remote
repository:

 Push (git push****): Uploads local commits to the remote repository.

 Pull (git pull****): Fetches the latest changes from the remote repository and merges
them into the current branch.

Procedure:

1. Pushing to a remote repository:

1.1 Ensure you are in the correct branch:

1.2 Push the branch to the remote repository:

2.Pulling updates from a remote repository:

2.2 If conflicts arise, resolve them manually and commit the changes.
