Read MoreWhat is GitOps?
Introduction The GitOps methodology organizes and maintains the infrastructure for a project. By pushing a change to source control, a git commit triggers an update to cloud infrastructure or applications. In GitOps, changes in Git trigger builds and deployments of infrastructure and applications, so Git is the only source of truth. It is common for companies to use GitOps in conjunction with Kubernetes as their container orchestration platform. In this article, we will explore Gitops in detail and why we need to use them What is GitOps GitOps is a subdiscipline of DevOps with similar aims, including speed and efficiency. ...
Read MoreWhat is bare Git repository?
Introduction Bare repositories are the same as default, but they cannot be committed to. Bare repositories do not have a working tree, so they cannot track changes made to projects. All project files/subdirectories are stored in a working tree. All project files are stored in a specific folder within the bare repository, which is basically a .git folder. In this article, we will explore more about bare repositories What is Git Repository A Git repository contains a collection of files and folders that track the history of your codebase's changes. It has been extremely useful for me as a ...
Read MoreWhat is the difference between Gitlab and GitHub?

This blog aims to resolve all your project puzzles and explain the differences and similarities between GitHub and GitLab. So you can choose them accordingly What is GitHub? The geek world raves about GitHub all the time, but most people are still unaware of what GitHub actually is. In short, GitHub is a web service that helps professionals track and manage their code, as well as store and manage ...
Read MoreWhat is the Difference between Git Vs Subversion?
Introduction It is likely you have heard of Version Control Systems (VCS), or source control if you write or track code for a project. A Version Control System serves primarily as a host and a tool for tracking how a project develops. With VCSs, developers are able to compare and track changes between files, track commits, make proposals, view the history of projects, and revert to previous versions. Software teams and developers need a good VCS to implement DevOps, continuous delivery and maintain productivity. Git, SVN, Mercurial, and Perforce are a few of the most popular version control systems. You ...

Read MoreExplain BLOB object and tree object in Git.
Git uses a series of BLOBs and trees to store content of the working directory of a project. Whenever we perform a commit operation, Git internally creates a series of trees and BLOBs, which is the binary representation of the project folder structure at that point in time of commit.What is BLOB?BLOB stands for Binary Large Object. Each version of a file in Git is represented as a BLOB. A BLOB holds a file’s data but doesn’t contain any metadata about the file or even its name.To understand a BLOB let us see an example.Create 3 files “file1.txt”, “file2.txt” and ...

Read MoreHow to compare two branches in Git?
Collaborators will use multiple branches in order to have clearly separated codebase. At some point in time, we may have to merge these branches in order to have the resulting work in the main branch. It is important that we compare the differences in the branches before merging to avoid any conflicts. We will see a couple of different ways to compare two branches −Listing commit differences − This method shows commits that are present in a branch but unavailable in the other branch.Listing file changes − This method compares branches and displays how exactly a certain file is different ...
Read MoreWhy is git branching fast compared to other version control systems?
Branching allows us to diverge from the main line of work and work on something else in isolation. Conceptually, we can think of a branch as a separate isolated workspace. We have a main workspace called the master.We can create a feature branch and work separately on the feature branch to add more features to the project without affecting the main line of work. If there is some error in the feature branch, we can fix it without affecting other collaborator’s work. Once everything is working properly in the feature branch, we can merge it with the main line of ...
