Day 10 Task: Advance Git & GitHub for DevOps Engineers.
Git Branching:-
Use a branch to isolate development work without affecting other branches in the repository. Each repository has one default branch and can have multiple other branches. You can merge a branch into another branch using a pull request.
Branches allow you to develop features, fix bugs, or safely experiment with new ideas in a contained area of your repository.
Git Revert and Reset
Two commonly used tools that git users will encounter are those of git reset and git revert. The benefit of both of these commands is that you can use them to remove or edit changes you’ve made in the code in previous commits.
Git Rebase and Merge
What Is Git Rebase?
Git rebase is a command that lets users integrate changes from one branch to another, and the logs are modified once the action is complete. Git rebase was developed to overcome merging’s shortcomings, specifically regarding logs.
What Is Git Merge?
Git merge is a command that allows developers to merge Git branches while the logs of commits on branches remain intact.
The merge wording can be confusing because we have two methods of merging branches, and one of those ways is actually called “merge,” even though both procedures do essentially the same thing.
Task 1:
Add a text file called version01.txt inside the Devops/Git/ with “This is first feature of our application” written inside. This should be in a branch coming from master, [hint try git checkout -b dev], switch to dev branch ( Make sure your commit message will reflect as "Added new feature"). [Hint use your knowledge of creating branches and Git commit command]
version01.txt should reflect at local repo first followed by Remote repo for review. [Hint use your knowledge of Git push and git pull commands here]
Add new commit in dev branch after adding below-mentioned content in Devops/Git/version01.txt: While writing the file make sure you write these lines.
1st line>> This is the bug fix in development branch
Commit this with message “ Added feature2 in development branch”
2nd line>> This is gadbad code
Commit this with message “ Added feature3 in development branch
3rd line>> This feature will gadbad everything from now.
Commit with message “ Added feature4 in development branch
git log : Git log is a utility tool to review and read a history of everything that happens to a repository.
git log --oneline - The oneline option is used to display the output as one commit
per line.
Restore the file to a previous version where the content should be “This is the bug fix in development branch” [Hint use git revert or reset according to your knowledge]
git reset : Reset current HEAD to the specified state.
syntax : git reset <commit_ID>
In below image, if you will do git log you can see only two commits as the reset ones are deleted.
Task 2:
Demonstrate the concept of branches with 2 or more branches with screenshot.
git branch:
A branch is a version of the repository that diverges from the main working project. It is a feature available in most modern version control systems. A Git project can have more than one branch.
1.For show all branches:
git branch
2.Create a new branch:
git branch <branch_name>
3.For going to specific branch:
git checkout <branch_name>
4.For deleting branch:
git checkout -d <branch_name>
5. for creating and going to that branch:
git checkout -b <branch_name>
add some changes to dev branch and merge that branch in master
git merge:
Git merge is a command that allows developers to merge Git branches while the logs of commits on branches remain intact.
1.switch to master branch
2.git merge <branch_name> here branch_name is dev
3.check git log, In log head is master ,dev.
git rebase:
Rebasing is the process of moving or combining a sequence of commits to a new base commit. Rebasing is most useful and easily visualized in the context of a feature branching workflow. The primary reason for rebasing is to maintain a linear project history.
Syntax : git rebase <base>
create a new branch
create new file in that branch
add and commit new file to that branch
use command git rebase <branch_name>
