Premium questions with real-world problems
The Git test evaluates a candidate’s ability to work with the source control tool Git, including the knowledge of how to commit changes, merge branches, checkout commits, and other source control mechanisms.
It’s an ideal test for pre-employment screening of candidates applying for any developer role. A good candidate for any job requiring the use of source control will be able to display competency with using Git, the most popular version control tool. This Git test can be used to screen large groups of candidates to select only those with the required Git knowledge to bring in for an interview.

Force Checkout
A developer is experimenting with code on a local copy of a branch. After a while, it is decided that this experiment does not work. So the developer decides to switch back to the master branch. However, the developer's local working copy is different from the HEAD.
Which of these options would allow the developer to successfully check out the master branch?
(Select all acceptable answers.)
Saving a Bugfix
Write down a sequence of GIT commands (with no additional arguments) to download a repository, update a file, and save the changes back to the original repository. Assume that other developers didn't modify the file.
- Download the master repository to a local directory or repository:
git _____ https://joe@testdome.com/testdome.git
- Fix a bug in file test.cpp
- Mark that file test.cpp has been changed:
git _____ test.cpp
- Save the changes to the local repository:
git _____ -m 'Bug with testing is fixed'
- Send the changes to the original repository:
git _____ origin master

Pass/fail grouping
Our tests are designed to put candidates into either the pass group or the fail group so you can find the best candidates faster.
Full customization
We have pre-built tests and questions, but you can customize them however you like. Change the pass/fail scores, time requirements, and more.
Cheating protection
Use tests that solve real-world problems, with no answers that can be easily found online. Because we test performance and skills (not information), we allow the use of online resources, just like in real life. Copy/paste prevention and online proctoring via webcam prevent cheating.
Candidate reporting
Get an overview into the percentage of passes and fails. Then dive deeper into the results of your top candidates to select who goes onto the next phase of hiring.
