💡 DevOps Interview Tip (Week #5)
Tip:
When explaining Git in interviews, don’t say:
“Git saves my code.”
Instead say:
“Git tracks changes using commits and maintains a history graph, allowing safe collaboration and rollback.”
Interviewers look for concept clarity, not command memorization.
🧭 How to use this content effectively
Suggested routine (30–45 mins):
Install Git locally
Create a test repository
Make multiple commits
View history using
git log
Understanding Git early will make:
Jenkins easier
