SWPP, Assignment 1: Rebasing & Merging Branches

What you should do is to:

0. Clone this repo into your computer

1. Make a new commit on the main branch that replaces SWPP from hello.cpp with your github username, so it prints:

make
./hello
Hello, my name is <your Github username>

The commit message should be "Update hello.cpp".

2. This repo has three branches: main, bugfix, usemap. Checkout the existing bugfix branch using git checkout command. Then, rebase it onto main using git rebase command. See following diagram.

*----------* main
 \
  \
   --------* bugfix

==> (after rebase)

*----------* main
            \
             \
              --------* bugfix

3. Checkout main and merge bugfix into main using git merge command. Thanks to the rebase done before, there will be no merge commit created.

4. On top of that, merge the existing usemap branch again. This causes a merge conflict; please fix it carefully. (When you commit the fix, please do not edit the commit message which will be e.g., Merge branch 'usemap'.)

NOTE: You should carefully see why it causes merge conflict. To do this, you need to understand what usemap branch did.

5. Check that make; ./check.sh works successfully. :)

After this, git log --oneline at main branch should show the commits including bugfix/usemap commits, "Update hello.cpp" commit, and a merge commit.

git log --oneline --no-merges should hide the merge commits.

6. ./package.sh will create an archive submit.tar.gz. Submit this archive to eTL.
