The fetch command downloads commits and files from a remote repository to your local machine, but it does not propose changes to the team.Explanation for Option B: Incorrect. Committing saves your changes locally. It does not share them with the remote repository or initiate a review process.Explanation for Option C: Correct. Creating a Pull Request is the primary way on GitHub to notify team members that you have pushed changes to a branch and want them reviewed before merging into the main branch.Explanation for Option D: Incorrect. Rebasing is used to rewrite commit history or integrate changes from one branch to another locally, not to request peer reviews.Explanation for Option E: Incorrect. Stashing temporarily shelves your uncommitted local changes so you can work on a different task.Explanation for Option F: Incorrect. Issues are used to track bugs, tasks, and feature requests. They do not contain the actual code changes needed for a review.Question 2: When managing repository compliance, which setting should an administrator enable to prevent developers from directly pushing untested code to the main branch?Option A: GitHub ActionsOption B: Branch Protection RulesOption C: GitHub PagesOption D: Dependabot alertsOption E: GitHub PackagesOption F: Secret ScanningCorrect Answer: Option BExplanation for Option A: Incorrect. Actions are used to automate workflows like continuous integration, not to enforce repository push permissions.Explanation for Option B: Correct. Branch Protection Rules allow administrators to enforce specific workflows, such as requiring approved code reviews or passing status checks before anyone can push or merge into protected branches.Explanation for Option C: Incorrect. Pages is a hosting service for static websites directly from a repository.Explanation for Option D: Incorrect. Dependabot notifies you about vulnerable dependencies in your code, it does not restrict branch access.Explanation for Option E: Incorrect. Packages is a service for hosting and managing software packages.Explanation for Option F: Incorrect.
