Adds all 6 ROOT 03 modules (why version control exists, the Git mental model, everyday Git, branching & merging, remote repositories, engineering Git workflow) — 31 activities. Uses only real LOCAL Git repositories throughout — no Gitea account, no network access, and no RootNode-canonical-repo credential is ever needed or exposed in a student Lab (docs/ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_LAB_STRATEGY.md §4). Modules 1, 2, and 6 are conceptual bookends with no lab, matching the flexible readiness standard already used in ROOT 01/02. Adds 3 new hands-on Git scenarios plus 2 MCQs: git-everyday-basics (init/add/commit, validated by inspecting real `git log`/`git show` state, not just command output strings — Step 6's explicit requirement), git-branching-and-merge (a REAL merge conflict caused on purpose by two branches editing the same line, resolved by the student, validated by confirming the conflict markers are gone and a real two-parent merge commit exists), and git-remote-clone-push (a real local bare repository standing in for a remote — clone/commit/push validated by inspecting the REMOTE side directly, not just the student's own clone). All tested end-to-end via the real scenario-validation API, including negative tests. Wires rootnode-git-fundamentals-assessment (2 required + 3 random-draw scenarios) using the existing Phase 3B assessment engine. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]>

Reflection: You Just Practiced Real Collaboration, Safely
Reflection questions
- What would have felt different about this module's Lab if the remote were a real hosted service (Gitea/GitHub) instead of a local simulation? What would have felt the same?
- Where do you expect
pushto matter most in real engineering work you'll do later?
Real Ops takeaway
Everything you just practiced — clone, commit, push, verified independently on the remote side — is the exact mechanism behind CI/CD and GitOps, which ROOT 11 covers later. A CI pipeline triggers because someone pushed; a GitOps deployment happens because a change was pushed to a Git repository treated as the source of truth. You haven't just learned Git commands — you've practiced the literal trigger mechanism modern deployment automation is built around.
This module is complete. Continue to the final module of this course.
Instructor Notes
Discussion questions for a live classroom: question 2 previews ROOT 11's GitOps content directly — worth naming that connection explicitly, even without teaching GitOps itself yet.
Approximate timing: 5-8 minutes live discussion; 5 minutes self-paced writing.
