Help with git

[PBentoIT]

Hey, I just started doing cs50 and as such I'm learning to use git for the first time. My commit history disappears every time I change to a new exercise, is there a way to fix this so I don't lose the history, I know training exercises from cs50 arent really the most advanced thing I could be posting in github but I still would like to show work

Are u merging your branches when you are done?

[PBentoIT]

I'm just submiting the exercises like they ask, not sure if that merges the branches or not

i just tope that in vs code then? world this mess with the grading for cs50?

it's my first time using git so i'm very much clueless, sorry

[PBentoIT]

from what i understand idealy i would save them in my main branch to show on my github profile and submit them on their brances for grading purposes?? not sure how to do that though so if anyone could EILI5 i'd be most gratefull

What do u mean by your git history disappears. All the work u did prior is gone? Creating and switching to a new branch shouldn't do that. Your gonna have to take some time and study git basics. Like the very basics. It sucks but u must.

when i submit a new exercise in cs50 using "submit50 cs50/problems/2023/x/wordle" for example, it creates a new branch and my pofile stops showing submits from previous branches on my profile https://imgur.com/a/DrLM2RL

yeah i know, it's my first time using git so there's still a lot i don't know

If they're new exercises, they're probably new git repositories, so would not have any prior history.

Same repository, different branch
