Commit Issue

Question

Well, I see that there are only 6 commits in the document, but my github shows that I have made 9. Does it matter?

It probably is also a good idea to make more commits rather than make large commit because you would not want to break the code work base.

Answer 1

Ideally you would match the lab directions exactly, but you may have missed a step or done something a little differently, which could have resulted in your git history being a little different.

Maybe you committed some changes separately instead of lumped together. Maybe you have an extra "merge commit" resulting from a conflict you created by editing on GitHub before syncing your local code with github.

It probably isn't a big deal in any case...

Answer 2

When I also finished my lab there were more than 6 commits, I forgot to edit everything and had to commit a bit more. I think the learning of commit or about committing itself should not be about how many commits but if the code works fine!

Answer 3

The number of commits you see depends on the review filters that you have applied. You can adjust these filters in the GitHub interface.
