Git Questions for DevOps / Software Engineering Interviews

Surprised you mentioned gitflow but not trunk-based. It seems many high-performing teams practicing CD are using trunk-based over gitflow and merging straight to master.

which is the keyboard in the background?

can we merge two braches into a master at a time?

git is "new & hyped-up"? It's 15 years old and, comparing across version control systems, clearly superior. Not to sound elitist, there's just no competition between the systems. Git is king, and has much more advanced tooling possible, especially in the devops world.

Thanks dude. Every other popular video is just rote "Command" -> "Answer". Really helpful just having a conversation about the meta of the version control-portion of an interview.

Yeah when I learned about git first thing in my my was to move all of my project from dropbox to git

Question: When (not) to force push.

BTW: My favorite git thing is rerere :)

I do have a question. At the end of my training as a devops engineer, i was told that with no prior experience you are more than likely never to get a job. My question then from the point of an interviewer, who then employs the new grads? I was told to exaggerate my experience on my resume, even though i have none...what do you do? who then gives you a job? Can you share your perspective with me? I need a job but cant figure how to break this yoke. Thanks

any tutorial suggestion on how to start using git?

love the direction of the channel.

How not to do it: Branch the last Release, then manually apply changes from master that was directly committed. And only the change sets that were approved. FML

A question I heard once - describe Git and GitHub relation

Some Qs: What is a merge conflict and how do you solve it? What are the reasons to use version controll?

I've met some people who do not know git cli commands, but do know how git works. They're just using their IDE or some GUI thingy to manage their workflow. So not knowing git commands by heart is probably no reason to disqualify a person (which you wouldn't as you've said, but I just wanted to state that point). Edit: beaten by like a dozen people ;D

Does it fall under "red flag" if I exclusively use git through my IDE of choice? Basically knowing the features but not necessarily the exact git-command for it, but the corresponding action in my chosen IDE.

My first question after they've confirmed that they have experience with Git would be if they are used to the CLI or a GUI. Some people using a GUI may not know the commands exactly but may be able to describe it well enough.

Hey man, I think in a previous video you mentioned that you use Emacs. What do you think is the way to transition through the text-editors? I'm looking to up my productivity with some of the Emacs packages and shortcuts.

comitizen is also sweet for a large developer base

What SCCM client tool do you use? (Trick question. Flavor counts though)

Your local copy is corrupted. How do you fix that (heh, yes GIT isn’t as sophisticated as M$ visual studio)?

Otherwise, the finger gun is really cool.. for 2019

What if people use GUI tools for all the git commands? I mean i do use gui tools inside IDE for these specific purposes. I know that there are commands for command line but if one works in a DevOps environment, one might as well have IDE installed in which case most of IDEs do have in one form or the other a module / functionality / addon to communicate with a version control?
