Day 11 Task: Advance Git & GitHub for DevOps Engineers: Part-2

Git Stash:

Git stash is a command that allows you to temporarily save changes you have made in your working directory, without committing them. This is useful when you need to switch to a different branch to work on something else, but you don't want to commit the changes you've made in your current branch yet.

To use Git stash, you first create a new branch and make some changes to it. Then you can use the command git stash to save those changes. This will remove the changes from your working directory and record them in a new stash. You can apply these changes later. git stash list command shows the list of stashed changes.

You can also use git stash drop to delete a stash and git stash clear to delete all the stashes.

Cherry-pick:

git cherry-pick is a powerful command that enables arbitrary Git commits to be picked by reference and appended to the current working HEAD. Cherry picking is the act of picking a commit from a branch and applying it to another. git cherry-pick can be useful for undoing changes. For example, say a commit is accidently made to the wrong branch. You can switch to the correct branch and cherry-pick the commit to where it should belong.

Resolving Conflicts:

Conflicts can occur when you merge or rebase branches that have been delivered, and you need to manually resolve the conflicts before git can proceed with the merge/rebase. git status command shows the files that have conflicts, git diff command shows the difference between the conflicting versions and git add command is used to add the resolved files.

Task-01

  • Create a new branch and make some changes to it.

  • Use git stash to save the changes without committing them.

  • Switch to a different branch, make some changes and commit them.

  • Use git stash pop to bring the changes back and apply them on top of the new commits.

Task-02

  • In version01.txt of development branch add below lines after “This is the bug fix in development branch” that you added in Day10 and reverted to this commit.

  • Line2>> After bug fixing, this is the new feature with minor alteration”

    Commit this with message “ Added feature2.1 in development branch”

  • Line3>> This is the advancement of previous feature

    Commit this with message “ Added feature2.2 in development branch”

  • Line4>> Feature 2 is completed and ready for release

    Commit this with message “ Feature2 completed”

  • All these commits messages should be reflected in Production branch too which will come out from Master branch (Hint: try rebase).

Task-03

  • In Production branch Cherry pick Commit “Added feature2.2 in development branch” and added below lines in it:

  • Line to be added after Line3>> This is the advancement of previous feature

  • Line4>>Added few more changes to make it more optimized.
