Extra Credit Assignment - More Git/GitHub Flow

Instructions

This is an individual assignment. You may not collaborate.

I will not grade incomplete Extra Credit, so you must complete all steps below at a minimum. You may earn partial extra credit if something is incorrect.

You may find it useful to refer to Scenario 1 of the lab on remote repos.

1. Make a new public GitHub repository.
2. Create a new Python project with the file math_ops.py containing the following:

   # math_operations.py
   
   def divide_numbers(a, b):
       """Divides two numbers and returns the result."""
       return a / b  # Potential division by zero error
   
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       x = 10
       y = 0
       result = divide_numbers(x, y)
       print(f"The result of division is: {result}")
   

3. Connect your project to your GitHub repository. Add, commit, and push the first version to the main branch.
4. Create two branches off the first version: bug-fix and new-feature.
5. In bug-fix: make it so that an attempt to call divide_numbers with a 0 in the denominator results in a nice message printed to the screen saying “Cannot divide by 0” rather than throwing an exception.
   • Commit and push your changes to the bug-fix branch.
6. In new-feature: add a function of your choice to the program and call it from the main block.
   • Commit and push your changes to the new-feature branch.
7. Merge bug-fix into main first.
8. Merge new-feature into main second. Follow the Git Flow.
9. Ensure that main correctly incorporates both branches and push it to your remote repository.

Rubric
