A data engineer is running code in a Databricks Repo that is cloned from a central Git repository. A colleague of the data engineer informs them that changes have been made and synced to the central Git repository. The data engineer now needs to sync their Databricks Repo to get the changes from the central Git repository.
Which of the following Git operations does the data engineer need to run to accomplish this task?
A
Merge
B
Push
C
Pull
D
Commit
E
Clone
Explanation:
When a data engineer needs to get the latest changes from a central Git repository to their local repository (in this case, their Databricks Repo), they need to perform a Pull operation.
Let's break down the Git operations:
Pull (C): This operation fetches changes from the remote repository and merges them into the current branch. It's the correct operation for syncing local changes with the central repository.
Merge (A): This combines changes from different branches, but doesn't fetch from a remote repository.
Push (B): This sends local changes to the remote repository (opposite direction of what's needed).
Commit (D): This saves changes locally but doesn't interact with the remote repository.
Clone (E): This creates a new local copy of a remote repository, which has already been done in this scenario.
The data engineer already has a cloned repository, so they need to pull the latest changes from the central Git repository to update their local copy with their colleague's changes.
