devops-git

A version-controlled DevOps project with Git

Objective

Manage a DevOps project using Git best practices.

Tools

• Git
• GitHub

Steps Followed

1. Initialized local repository and pushed to GitHub.
2. Created branches:
   • main (stable release branch)
   • dev (development branch)
   • feature-* (feature branches for new work)
3. Worked on features inside feature branches.
4. Merged code using Pull Requests → feature → dev → main.
5. Added a .gitignore file to ignore logs and unnecessary files.
6. Tagged versions (e.g., v1.0) for releases.
7. Documented the process in TASKS.md.

Repo Structure

devops-git/ │── README.md │── TASKS.md │── .gitignore │── feature.py (sample feature)

Outcome

• Learned Git branching workflow.
• Practiced PR-based collaboration.
• Used tags and markdown documentation.

Summary

This task sets up a version-controlled DevOps project using Git and GitHub. It follows best practices by creating multiple branches (main, dev and feature), managing code changes through pull requests, tagging releases and documenting all steps using markdown. This workflow simulates a real-world collaborative development environment.

Goal

The goal of this task is to understand and practice Git version control workflows—branching, merging with pull requests, using .gitignore, tagging versions and documenting the project—so that DevOps projects can be managed in a structured and professional way.
