💣 You probably already know that Git is an amazing tool with the rich open-source architecture used by many developers these days. But the popularity of this version control system doesn't keep you from making mistakes and getting stuck. We think that it's always best to possess a few useful tricks to make your experience and work much smoother. So, we've made a list of Git tricks and we really hope you'll take advantage of them!

💪 Challenge yourself with our latest mission:

The first mission is called Long Repeat and here you need to find the length of the longest substring that consists of the same letter.

longRepeat('sdsffffse') == 4
longRepeat('ddvvrwwwrggg') == 3

The second is Roman Numerals where you have to return a roman numeral using the specified integer value.

romanNumerals(1) == 'I'
romanNumerals(10) == 'X'
romanNumerals(50) == 'L'
romanNumerals(100) == 'C'
romanNumerals(500) == 'D'
romanNumerals(76) == 'LXXVI'

The third is the Reverse Roman Numerals mission where your task is to convert a given Roman number into its decimal representation.

reverseRoman('VI') == 6
reverseRoman('LXXVI') == 76
reverseRoman('CDXCIX') == 499
reverseRoman('MMMDCCCLXXXVIII') == 3888
