Atomic means all or nothing - either everything succeeds or all fails. Git is known to have atomic operations i.e. an environment issue will not cause git to commit half of the files into the repository and leave the rest. So what are we doing talking about atomic commits when all operations are already atomic in git? When we talk...
Amazon has come up with loads of eye-popping services that reduces our workload in re:invent 2014, one such astounding service that it has launched on Day 1 of re:invent is CodeCommit. We've been investing loads of our time in managing our own source control system, which can be reduced by using CodeCommit. It's a secured service...
While reading the Grails docs I came across a useful Grails command i.e. integrate-with. In this short blog I just want to present some of the uses of this command. By using this command we can create Git's .gitignore file: [java] grails integrate-with --git [/java] The above command will create a .gitignore file in the root of...
Most of us know how to host a static website on Amazon S3, but to deploy the website you would need to run the AWS Cli command everytime manually. In this blog I'll show you how to automatically deploy your website while maintaining version control of your project using server side hook provided by Git. Prerequisite : Git Aws...
We use git a lot, and one of the most used commands is "git branch". Few Months back we found a script that enabled us to modify our prompt so that it shows our current branch. We have modified it further to add extra functionality, and our modified script enables prompt to show number of files modified, number untracked files, and also...
While working on a project with a team, there is a chance that once in a while erroneous pieces of code (bad programming, wrong conflict resolution etc) creep in. Now wading thorugh individual commits looking for a specific line in a file that looks suspicious can be hard work and takes a lot of time. I was in one of these...
Recently, I had to migrate one of the git repository from our local git server to Github along with all the branches, tags etc. Since ours is a big project and with many branches, adding second remote and pushing master branch was not an option. And with Git it's a very simple three step process. 1) Clone bare structure of an existing...
Working on a cool project, doing cool and unusual stuff has its own charms and challenges. For doing cool things, you need cool tools to play with and Git surely is one of the coolest ones around.

Several of branches were merged to master branch. And unfortunately one of the branches merged was created from an unstable branch. Making our master branch...
Hi Folks, Recently I came across a cool way to compare differences between two branches, two tags, or between two commits on Github. Many a times in our project we have to thoroughly see what has been a specific change in the code base before we push it on our production branch. Here is how you can view the differences in commits: On...
