+###Git Basics (commit, diff, branches)
+***************************
+# 1. Copy `07_git_exercises/basics.sh` from our shared repo into your newly created repo, in project root directory, add and commit it. Run it by `./basics.sh`
+
+cp  C:/Users/yehunathan/PycharmProjects/DevOpsJan22/07_git_exercises/init.sh basics.sh
+
+#2. In branch `main`, create a file called `abc.txt` containing the text `1` in it
+
+echo 1 > abc.txt
+
+
+# (3. What is the color of file `abc.txt` in Pycharm's Project view?)
+
+Red
+
+# (4. Add the file to the index (What is the color now?) and commit the changes (it's recommended to use `git status` in between steps))
+
+ git add . abc.txt
+it turns green
+# (5. Append the line `2` to the end of `abc.txt` to change the state of this file in the working tree)
+echo 2 >>abc.txt
+
+
+
+# (6. What is the color of file `abc.txt` in Pycharm's Project view?)
+still green
+
+
+ # (7. What is the command to show changes between the working tree to branch `main`?)
+git-diff
+
+
+ # (8. Why does `git diff --staged` print nothing?)
+
+idk
+
+ # (9. Why does `git diff master` print error?)
+
+because master is not name of branch in the working directory
+
+ # (11. What does `git diff` print? why?)
+nothing because it was indexed
+
+
+# (12. What is the command to show changes between the index and branch `main`?)
+git diff main
+
+
+# (13. Append the line `3` to the end of `abc.txt` to change the state of this file in the working tree)
+
+echo 3 >>abc.txt
+
+
+
+# (14. Would `git diff --staged` and `git diff main` commands print the same output? why?)
+
+
+
+ # (15. Why does `abc.txt` appear twice in the output of `git status`? )
+
+because one is added to index but not merged and one is modeified with 3
+
+
+
+# (16. **Unstage** the changes in your index and working tree (don't commit the changes))
