Git - Stash Saves Time 💎

The command git stash , picks All the changes in staging and save it in a separate place. Thus, this useful and aptly named command clears your staging area. 🔥

That way you can save a set of changes you have made but do not yet want to commit. 💥

$ git stash

Or, if you would need to stash untracked changes as well, use -u argument: 💡

$ git stash -u

In particular, I use more stash when I need to git pull and want to avoid conflicts between local changes and changes upstream.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To restore your local changes back to staging, you need to apply your stash. The following command recreates the latest changes that were stashed away: ✔️

 $ git stash apply 

You can have more than one stash. By default, your stashes will be applied in FILO (First-in, last-out) order.

#git #vcs #stash

Git - Differences Between Commits 🙇🏻

To see the changes of the last commit, you can use:

 $ git log —stat 

This command will show the files and the number of lines added and removed by file in each commit. 💎

To see what exactly was changed in a commit, use git diff. 💥

To see the difference between two commits using sha s of commits in hand (0da94be and 59ff30c), use:

$ git diff 0da94be 59ff30c

#git #commit

Gitignore ✨

Create useful .gitignore files for your project. 🤙🏻

Tell gitignore.io about your operating system, development environment and programming language of choice, and it’ll generate a .gitignore file. 👾

Never commit code that’s been commented out 🚫

I’ve never understood the reasoning behind committing code that’s been commented out. 🤔

I assume it’s to keep old versions of the code around just in case the new code doesn’t work, but that’s just bizarre. ⚠️

Keeping track of old versions is the reason we use a version control system in the first place❗️

Why was the code commented out❔
Does it work❔
Should it work❔
Has it ever worked❔
Is it something we should strive towards or run away from❔

Code that’s been commented out is worse than useless, because every time it’s read, it raises questions like these without providing any answers. ❌

It only serves to confuse and distract from the code in use. 🤯

Oh shit, git❗️

Git is hard: screwing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is fucking impossible. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can't search for how to get yourself out of a mess, unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know about in order to fix your problem. 🤦🏻‍♂️

So here are some bad situations I've gotten myself into, and how I eventually got myself out of them in plain english*. ✅
