Understanding GIT and Github

-
If you haven't heard of these terms, then it is good time to grapple the concepts of GIT and Github. Suppose you work in the large team and the project is complex, you need to be in sync with the codebase and the commit that your team is making. That is where we have Git and Github.

What is Git?

Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes in code during software development. The basic features of Git are -
  • Helps in saving revisions of your project in one directory.
  • Collaboration with your team members without any geographical constraint.
  • Easy to recover old code if a major bug messes up everything.
  • Git can track changes in files in any folder called repository.
  • Stores Key-value pairs
  • Can be used locally without any access to internet, it will still have you access to the files change history.

What is Github?

Github is an online repository where we can host our project, share it with other people.One can easily merge the code with our codebase.

Git Repository -

Git tracks all the changes made in the file and maintains the history in a folder inside your project. It is saved with .git folder.

Basically there are 3 stages in moving the code from your local to Github repository -

  • Modification - Modified the fees, not committed
  • Staging - Move the file to staging area
  • Committing - Pick the files from staging to commit.
If you are working on windows machine, install Git Bash in your machine.

To learn about the files which is in your staging area, there is a command to be called -
    
               git status 
Which shows the results either in red or green. Green signifies

In this article, we will learn about Azure networking concepts such as architecture, microservices, virtual networks, VPNs, subnet, VPN gateways and most importantly Network Security Group(NSG). All these terms are to be understood if you appearing for AZ900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam. Azure Networking In previous articles we have learnt about Micro- services and how they work, these are alos loosely coupled architecture. Some of the features includes Independent components interact with each other with the help of queues Can be updated and deployed independently Highly scalable Supports Asynchronous messaging N-tier Architecture Supports loosely coupled architecture Application divided into multiple tiers such that higher tier can access lower tier but not vice versa Tiers are re-usable and can be updated or replaced easily without any hassle. Three-tier in general Web Tier(front end) Application tier(back end) Data tier(Storage) Virtual Network Isolated network shared by few g...

Testing in CI/CD

-
If you are part of testing fraternity you would have heard CI/CD numerous times by now. It's the talk of the software testing town. In this article, we will cover the basics of CI/CD, what actually it is and how it is implemented in software testing. What is continuous integration? In simple terms, development teams can integrate their code into a shared repository. This helps in maintaining code quality and identifying potential issues with the local version of the code at an early stage. What is continuous delivery? Everything that is being continuously merged by the development team, is continuously deployed to the live environment. Continuous delivery is often coined as ‘Continuous Deployment’ as well. Since most developers work in parallel, continuously integrating their code into one repository would mean that the master branch is continuously updated with new features. In order to ensure that there is no compromise in the code quality with so many changes...

Azure Tutorials Series - IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS

We already have covered Public vs Private vs Hybrid differentiation in the previous article. In this article we will be covering three categories of cloud computing with relevant examples and details. Most of you might already be using these services in your daily day-to-day tasks unaware of the face that your organisation has already started the transition into the cloud. For an example, Office 365 is a active SaaS(Software as a service) that most of us uses, VMs are examples of IaaS(Infrastructure as a service) and Azure SQL Database is PaaS(Platform as a service). Now how do we differentiate between the three categories as a user? Will cover the details below. Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS) Service provider provides you the hardware User gets some control over the hardware, can customise operating system, storage and VMs. Ensuring service is up and running is shared responsibility While cloud provider makes sure that the hardware is functioning correctly, user needs to make sure ...
