✅ How to Name Git Branches the Right Way

A quick guide to Git branch naming for better team collaboration. Learn how to maintain consistency in your project’s structure by using clear, descriptive branch names that everyone can follow.

▶️ Feature: feature/{short-description}
Example: feature/login-page

▶️ Bugfix: fix/{issue-id}-{short-description}
Example: fix/123-broken-link

⭐ Semantic Versioning (SemVer)

is a versioning system that conveys meaning about the changes made in a release. The version format is:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
Example: 2.5.3

▶️ MAJOR: Breaking changes. (Incompatible with previous versions)

▶️ MINOR: New features, but backward-compatible.

▶️ PATCH: Bug fixes or small improvements that don't add features.

SemVer helps maintain predictable updates by communicating the level of change, ensuring developers know when to expect compatibility or breaking changes.

⭐ Web Tip: Why Add Version Numbers to CSS & JavaScript Files?

Have you seen ?v=1.0.0 at the end of a CSS or JavaScript link? 🤔 It’s called cache busting!

When you update your website’s design or scripts, browsers may keep showing an old version to speed things up. Adding a version number like ?v=1.0.0 tells the browser, "This is the newest version!" 🆕

This trick helps:
▶️ Make sure users see the latest updates without clearing cache
▶️ Keep track of different versions as you work
▶️ Keep things running smoothly with easy updates

So next time you update, bump up that version number!
Happy coding! 👨‍💻

⭐ Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Did you use access control in your project⁉️
RBAC is one of the most effective methods to implement access control for secure and organized system management.

RBAC restricts access based on roles assigned to users, ensuring they can only perform actions permitted by their role.

Key Components
▶️ Roles: Define job functions (e.g., Admin, Editor, Viewer).
▶️ Permissions: Actions allowed (e.g., create, read, update, delete).
▶️ Users: Assigned roles to inherit permissions.

Example
| Role | Permissions |
|-----------|-------------------------|
| Admin | Create, Read, Update, Delete |
| Viewer | Read |

💡 Benefits: Simplifies access management, enforces least privilege, and enhances security.

💡 Important: When working with APIs, always implement access control to prevent unauthorized actions and protect sensitive data.

⭐ Lazy Loading for Better Performance

Did you use lazy loading in your project⁉️

Lazy loading delays loading non-essential resources like images, videos, and scripts until needed.

🤩 Example

<img src="placeholder.jpg" data-src="real-image.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Image">

💡 Benefits
▶️ Faster page loads 🔥
▶️ Saves bandwidth 📉
▶️ Improves user experience 🌟

⭐ Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)

ABAC extends RBAC by introducing attributes as the basis for access control decisions, allowing more dynamic and granular access management. Instead of relying solely on predefined roles, ABAC uses the attributes of users, resources, and the environment to determine access rights.

Key Components
1. Attributes:
- User Attributes: e.g., Department, Job Title, Clearance Level.
- Resource Attributes: e.g., File Type, Data Sensitivity.
- Environmental Attributes: e.g., Time of Access, Device Used, Location.

2. Policies: Define rules based on attributes, often written in formats like JSON or XML.

Example Policy
| Condition | Access Allowed |
|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------|
| Department = "HR" AND File Type = "PDF" | View or Download Only |
| Clearance Level = "High" AND Time = "9:00 AM - 6:00 PM" | Read, Write, Delete |

💡 Benefits:
- Flexibility: Adapts to complex requirements.
- Granularity: Offers fine-tuned control over resources.
- Dynamic Security: Responds to real-time conditions like location or device type.

💡 Use Case:
ABAC is ideal for systems that require context-sensitive decisions, such as granting access to sensitive financial data only during business hours or limiting operations based on device security.

⭐Let me tell you a story about one of the top private universities in Ethiopia. The university fired 🎆 one of its IT managers 👨‍💻 but forgot to remove his access to the grade management system. At first, no one noticed anything wrong.

But later, a teacher found something strange. He had given a student a D grade,...
