What is the primary advantage of the distributed nature of Git?

Git automatically merges saved changes from multiple remote authors into a single project repo.

Multiple remote contributors can work together on a project without fear of overwriting each other's work. Contributors can check changes from another contributor before merging them with their own.

Git distributes files and a folder structure to each contributor's machine across a wide-area network for safe keeping. This architecture provides highly secure data storage and ensures that project repo data can't be corrupted.

Suppose you have a project that has 10 files in your local working branch of the repo. You recently updated 3 of the files: toc.yml, intro.txt, and exercise.json. Now, you want to create a pull request for only the changes to the JSON file. What set of Git commands should you use to create the pull request for only those changes?

git add .
git commit -m "my changes for the exercise"
git push origin <working-branch>

git add exercise.json
git commit -m "my changes for the exercise"
git push origin <working-branch>

git add exercise
git commit -m "my changes for the exercise"
git push remote <working-branch>
