Complete Git Guide: Understand and Master Git and GitHub - Matching an Author's Email against a Regular Expression

This video tutorial guides viewers through creating a pre-commit script in Git to validate author emails using a regular expression. It covers setting up the script in VSCode, defining a regex to ensure emails end with specific domains, and testing the script with different email configurations. The tutorial concludes with a successful test and a brief introduction to the next lecture on creating a remote repository.

What is the primary purpose of the pre-commit script discussed in the video?

• To check the author's email against a regular expression

• To automatically commit changes

• To update the Git configuration

• To delete unnecessary files

Which command is used to make the pre-commit script executable?

• ls -la

• touch

• git init

• chmod +x

What does the regular expression in the script ensure about the email?

• It must be less than 10 characters

• It must contain a number

• It must start with a capital letter

• It must end with company.com or mycompany.com

What happens if the email does not match the regular expression?

• The commit is allowed

• The commit is interrupted

• A warning is displayed but the commit proceeds

• The email is automatically corrected

How can the user adjust their email to satisfy the pre-commit hook?

• By changing the email in the Git configuration

• By editing the script to accept any email

• By using a different Git client

• By disabling the pre-commit hook

What command is used to check the current email configuration in Git?

• git config --global list

• git branch

What is the outcome when the email matches the regular expression?
