Learners manage a small, realistic code repository for a cafe’s online ordering service using Git. They set up the repository, keep a secret value out of version control, develop changes on separate branches, merge them into a stable main branch, resolve a merge conflict, and undo a faulty commit. The result is a verified Git repository history that shows safe, traceable team practices.
