# Git Command Line Basics - Exercises

## Add contents to your local repository

  Add an entry to your animal description file, as well as an image to the `images` folder.

## Commit the changes to your local repository

  1. Check with status that the next commit matches what you expect.
  2. Run the commit.
  3. Display the log to check the commit has been added to your local history track.

## Propagate the changes to your repository on GitLab

  1. Push your recent commits the local repository to the remote repository.
  2. Check your project page on GitLab to verify the push went as expected.

## Shuffle contents of your local repository
  
  1. Rename the image file you recently added by adding  `_01` before the extension (i.e. `bumblebee.jpg` becomes `bumblebee_01.jpg`)
  2. Add a new image file for the same animal with a filename including `_02` (i.e. `bumblebee_02.jpg`) If you can't find one you can cheat and copy the first image.
  3. Add a file called `mistake.md` with some text contents of your choice.
  4. Commit all your latest changes.
  5. Check with `status` and `log` that all went as expected.
  6. Remove the `mistake.md` file.
  7. Commit all your latest changes.
  8. After checking all went well, propagate the changes to the remote GitLab project.
