Git

Top ten Git tips & tricks

Git is one of the most widely used collaboration tools in Software development. Even software developers working without teams often use Git as a version control system. Most people interact with Git through the command line, but many code editors and IDEs have Git integrations with built-in tools to make your workflow easier. Though Git is widely used, many developers only have a surface-level appreciation of all that Git has to offer.

How does Git work?

If you're like me and have less than twenty years of software engineering experience, the thought of a world without Git doesn't seem possible. When I started to research for this post, I almost fell out of my chair when I read that Git was created in 2005. It doesn't seem that long ago... either that, or I'm simply getting old. When I started programming, I asked myself a question I sometimes still ask myself today - How does git work? I often find myself being scared of certain Git commands.

Keboola DEV/PROD Lifecycle Via Git

Keboola offers a robust virtual branching environment, enabling users to seamlessly create a shadow copy of their entire Keboola Project. This allows for development and testing of changes without affecting the production environment. These development branches contain a copy of the underlying project data, ensuring that when a pipeline is executed in the development branch, the production data remains unaffected.

GitLab SAST: Using GitLab With Klocwork

GitLab SAST is a combination of GitLab— an integrated solution that covers the entire DevOps lifecycle — and, Klocwork — a static code analysis and SAST tool. When used together, these tools provide software development teams with a powerful GitLab SAST solution. Here we explain the benefits of GitLab SAST.

GitTogether | Combine and Rule | Gunesh Patil

Combinatorial testing is a crucial technique for ensuring software reliability by efficiently testing various combinations of input parameters. However, manual creation and execution of test cases for all possible combinations can be time-consuming and impractical. To address this challenge, this talk introduces an open-source tool designed to streamline combinatorial testing processes, maximizing test coverage while minimizing effort.

The Advantages of Testing PRs in Software Development

Testing Pull Requests (PRs) in software development offers numerous advantages. It fosters collaboration among team members, minimizes errors, provides valuable learning opportunities, promotes transparency, and facilitates the onboarding process for new developers. Encouraging Collaboration: PRs promote open discussions regarding code changes, enabling developers to provide feedback, propose enhancements, and seek clarification before integrating new code.
