A team is developing a new automation script. They want to experiment with a risky refactor without affecting the stable main branch. What is the best Git workflow?

Create a feature branch, commit changes there, and merge when stable.

Use a centralized version control system to lock the file.

Commit directly to the main branch and revert if needed.

Copy the script to a USB drive and edit it there.

A junior engineer is working on a Git repository. They have modified two configuration files: one for a new feature and one for a bug fix. They want to create two separate commits so that each change is logically isolated. What is the correct sequence of commands?

git add . && git commit -m "new feature and bug fix"

git add feature.cfg && git commit -m "add new feature" && git add bugfix.cfg && git commit -m "fix bug"

git stash && git commit -m "stash changes"

git commit feature.cfg -m "add new feature" && git commit bugfix.cfg -m "fix bug"

What is the purpose of staging (the index) in a version control system like Git?

To automatically merge changes from multiple branches

To permanently delete unwanted files from the repository

To create a backup of the entire repository on a remote server

To prepare a set of changes to be included in the next commit

What is the primary purpose of a version control system (VCS) in software development?

To track and manage changes to files over time, enabling collaboration and history review

To automatically fix bugs in the codebase

To compile source code into executable binaries

To deploy applications to production servers
