Git Basics: Initialize, Add, and Commit

Introduction

Welcome, time traveler! You've learned the basics of Git, and now it's time to put your skills to the test. Imagine you're working on a top-secret project called "Operation Quantum Leap." Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a Git repository, add a file with some classified information, and commit it to the repository. Are you ready to secure your first piece of time-travel technology?

Initializing and Committing to Your Secret Repository

Tasks

Create a new directory called quantum-leap in the ~/project folder.
Initialize a new Git repository in the quantum-leap directory.
Create a file named classified.txt with the content "The flux capacitor requires 1.21 gigawatts of power."
Stage the classified.txt file for commit.
Commit the staged file with the message "Add top-secret flux capacitor information".

Requirements

All operations must be performed in the ~/project/quantum-leap directory.
Use Git commands to complete the tasks.
The commit message must be exactly "Add top-secret flux capacitor information".

Example

After completing the challenge, running git log should show output similar to this:

commit a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9 (HEAD -> master)
Author: Your Name <your.email@example.com>
