What is the purpose of a remote repository in a version control system?

To store only the final production-ready version of the code

To store a backup of the local repository that is never modified

To automatically compile and test the code on every change

To provide a centralized location for team members to share and synchronize code changes

In Git, what is the purpose of a tag?

To automatically create a backup of the entire repository

To mark a specific commit as a significant point, such as a release version

To permanently delete a branch from the repository

A developer is working on a bug fix and has made several changes to the codebase. They want to save a snapshot of their work so they can revert to it later if needed, but they are not ready to share the changes with the rest of the team. What should the developer do?

Create a patch file and save it outside the repository.

Push the changes to the remote repository.

Commit the changes to a local branch.

Copy the entire working directory to a backup folder.

A development team uses a Git repository with a main branch. They want to ensure that all changes to the main branch are reviewed by at least one other developer before being merged. What is the most appropriate workflow?

Use a shared branch where all developers commit and then review the history.

Have developers commit directly to main and rely on post-commit reviews.

Have developers email their changes to a lead developer for approval before committing.

Use a pull request workflow where developers create feature branches, push them to the remote, and request a review before merging into main.

In Git, what does the `git merge` command do?

It creates a new branch from the current commit

It uploads the current branch to the remote repository

It deletes a branch and all its commits
