A developer has cloned a Git repository and is editing files in their working directory. They want to save a snapshot of their changes to the local repository before pushing. What must they do first?

Run git checkout to switch branches.

Run git add to stage the changes.

Run git clone to update the repository.

Run git push to upload the changes.

A network automation team maintains a library of reusable Python scripts. They release version 2.0 and want to ensure that the exact code used for this release can be reproduced later for troubleshooting. What is the best practice in Git to achieve this?

Copy the entire directory to a shared network drive.

Write the release number in the commit message only.

Create a branch named 'release-2.0' and leave it unmerged.

Create an annotated tag named 'v2.0' on the release commit.

A developer has committed changes locally and then runs git pull. The pull fails with a message about divergent branches. What is the most appropriate next step?

Run git push --force to overwrite the remote branch.

Run git stash to hide local changes and then pull.

Run git reset --hard HEAD to discard local commits.

Run git merge to integrate the remote changes with local commits.

What is the purpose of the 'pull' operation in Git?

To delete local branches that no longer exist on the remote

To create a new branch from the remote repository

To fetch changes from the remote repository and merge them into your current branch

To upload your local commits to the remote repository
