Adding gifs to your pull requests (PRs) can get them approved faster. Gifs can also help your tickets or issues get accepted. It works as you are showing the code or issue in action. Ryan Kienstra will show you how.
Git Hooks
Git gives us hooks in order to get our work done and further automate our process. In this hands-on coding lab, you will dive deep into the hooks that are available in git. When is it coming? This lab has been put on hold and will be added to a future workflow roadmap. Prerequisities What you will to need in order to maximize the benefits of this lab. Before you get started in this lab, we recommend the following: Have git globally installed and configured on your machine. Have a GitHub account. Have SSH setup on your machine and GitHub. […]
Alias – Delete Local and Remote Branch
In Git Contributing, you learned how to delete a local branch. The command of -D is fairly straightforward. But what if you want to delete both the local and remote branches. Let’s build an alias.
Prep for Complex Aliases
In order to build complex aliases, we want to open up the global .gitconfig file in the text editor that is wired to git. Then we’ll add some commenting to provide more context and details for our aliases. If you have not yet wired up your text editor to git, I highly….highly….highly recommend that you do so. Why? The main reason is for writing more detailed commit messages as well as doing rebasing too. Check out this lab for a Mac or Windows to wire yours up.
Git Productive
Let’s tame git. Let’s create a rich set of commands and shortcuts that make sense and are intuitive. Let’s build a set of scripts that are callable by a single command, such as `git uncommit` or `git rollback`, i.e. commands that wrap up repetitive tasks and automate them via a single command. In this hands-on coding lab, you’ll build a rich collection of these commands via git aliases and bash scripting to git you more productive.
Alias – Rollback to Last Commit
There are times when you are working on a change and then realize that you’ve gone in the wrong direction. At that point, you want to rollback your project back to the last commit, i.e. meaning you want to delete all of the changes and return your codebase back to the last commit. There are multiple steps to do this task as you need to delete everything in the staging and working areas. Let’s build an alias.
Alias – Commit All Changes from Working and Staging
Recall from Simply Git and Git Contributing how to commit changes. It is a two-step process of adding the changes from working into staging and then running git commit to move from staging into the storage (commit) area. Git gives you a way to combine those steps into one step. Typically, my workflow is: Commit the changes Pop open the editor Add my commit message Clear off the command line console View the status display View the log That’s a lot of steps to type over and over again. Let’s build a complex alias to give us one command git […]
Alias – Rename Current Branch
Imagine that you are working along on a change and then decide you need to rename the branch. Git gives you an option to move a branch to a new branch. But like most git commands, it’s not intuitive or rememberable. Let’s build an alias.
Alias – Display Less Verbose Status
You know that you can use git status to view what is currently in the working and staging areas. In this episode, let’s make an alias for a less verbose status.
!f() – Build Complex Aliases
Often times, we type a series of commands over and over again. Is there a way to group these commands into one complex alias? Yes, we can leverage the shell and gain access to the full suite of Unix commands via scripting. In this episode, let’s discover the bang operator and anonymous function.
