Introduction

Historically version control has been the first component that teams have implemented, it is one of the oldest and most well understood components of DevOps. Please take a moment to review the Git handbook to understand the basics of version control, specially focusing on the distributed version control technology, Git.

Challenge

Now that we have a basic understanding of version control and Git, lets get some code checked into source control. Since the language you use for development doesn’t have much of an impact on how we do DevOps we have provided you a simple Python web application to use.

1. Clone the GitHub repository you created in the first challenge to your local computer (hint).

2. Download the code for the application here

3. Unzip the download and copy the contents into the root of the repository you cloned in step #1.

4. Commit the files to your GitHub repository using VS Code or your favorite Git client.

   Be sure to include a # sign followed by the issue number for this challenge to the Git commit message.

   For example: lets say you want to use the commit comment my first commit and your issue number is 55 your, your commit message should look like this my first commit #55.

   (hint)

Success Criteria

You should be able to go to the GitHub site and under your repository see your code.
