S4 Recap: Permissions, Git, Forgejo

Session: S4

Core Idea

Linux is multi-user. Git is durable memory for your source. Forgejo makes that history reviewable.

Remember

• ls -l shows file type, owner, group, other, and permission bits.
• chmod u+x adds execute permission only for the owner.
• Permission denied is evidence to inspect.
• git status tells you what Git sees; git diff shows unstaged lines.
• git add selects content for the next commit; git commit records it locally.
• git push sends commits to Forgejo. It does not send uncommitted files.

Live Core

You have the core milestone when you can explain a permission row, initialize the source repository, commit source changes, and verify them in Forgejo.

Optional Reinforcement

Use the S4 quests for permissions, Git, and Forgejo practice. The endpoint is source history you can explain, not just a local website. Run guide now for the next scored activity; run guide check after practical work. A passing check records progress.

Can You Explain This?

• Which permission triplet belongs to the owner, and what does directory x mean?
• Why did Linux deny cat /etc/shadow and cd ~/playground/no-enter-demo?
• What is the difference between unstaged, staged, committed, and pushed?
• Why should scratch.tmp be ignored while public_html/ needs no rule in ~/src/.gitignore?
• What URL does origin name, and where can you verify its newest commit?

Keep

Keep your .gitignore, source commits, and Forgejo remote. S5 uses execute permission for scripts, and later sessions use this repository to share your work.

Full Autonomy

Use S4 Self-Study Guide: Permissions, Git, Forgejo for permission decoding, Git staging recovery, and Forgejo recovery.
