Answer

There is no one correct answer to this challenge, but unlike some of the other challenges, you are somewhat constrained by how log is typically used.

Create a new repository

I will go to GitHub.com and create the LogChallenge repository:

Figure 9.23: Creating the repository

Next, I need to clone that repo to my local machine:

git clone [email protected]:JesseLiberty/LogChallenge.git

Add at least 6 commits

First, we must track the new program:

Figure 9.24: Tracking the program

We'll add one change to Program.cs:

namespace LogChallenge
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
            Console.WriteLine("Log Challenge!");
        }
    }
}

Now it is time to commit that change. Let's start with a call to status (st):

This is a tricky image. Make sure...
