⏱️ Estimated Time: 45 minutes 📋 Prerequisites: All Modules Completed 🎓 Final Assessment

📋 Project Requirements

Project Setup

  • • Create a new GitHub repository for a "Personal Portfolio Website"
  • • Initialize the repository locally with proper Git configuration
  • • Set up the remote connection to GitHub
  • • Create an initial README.md file with project description

Development Workflow

  • • Create a development branch for new features
  • • Implement at least 3 different features (HTML structure, CSS styling, JavaScript functionality)
  • • Make meaningful commits with descriptive messages
  • • Push changes to GitHub regularly
  • • Merge development branch back to main

Advanced Git Operations

  • • Create and manage tags for different versions
  • • Handle at least one merge conflict scenario
  • • Use Git to revert changes when needed
  • • Demonstrate branching strategies (feature branches)

Collaboration Simulation

  • • Fork your own repository to simulate collaboration
  • • Make changes in the forked repository
  • • Create a pull request
  • • Review and merge the pull request

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

Phase 1: Project Initialization (10 minutes)

  1. Create a new repository on GitHub named "portfolio-website"
  2. Clone the repository to your local machine
  3. Configure your Git user information if not already done
  4. Create a comprehensive README.md file
  5. Make your first commit and push to GitHub

Phase 2: Feature Development (20 minutes)

  1. Create a new branch called "feature/initial-structure"
  2. Create an HTML file with basic portfolio structure
  3. Commit your changes with a descriptive message
  4. Create another branch called "feature/styling"
  5. Add CSS styling to your portfolio
  6. Commit and push your styling changes
  7. Create a third branch called "feature/interactivity"
  8. Add JavaScript functionality (navigation, animations, etc.)
  9. Commit and push your JavaScript changes

Phase 3: Advanced Operations (10 minutes)

  1. Switch back to main branch
  2. Merge each feature branch one by one
  3. Create a tag for version 1.0.0
  4. Push tags to GitHub
  5. Create a release on GitHub

Phase 4: Collaboration (5 minutes)

  1. Fork your own repository
  2. Make a small improvement in the forked repository
  3. Create a pull request
  4. Review and merge the pull request
