In JavaScript, and just like many other languages out there, at some point you'll likely need to remove an element from an array. Depending on your use-case this could be as easy as using the built-in shift() or pop() commands, but that only works if the element is at the...

In order to checkout a branch from a remote repository, you will have to perform two steps. First, you need to fetch the actual branch data, which includes the commits, files, references, etc. Second, you'll want to actually check it out so your working directory contains the branch files. This...
If you merge a branch in to another, and for whatever reason decide you want to undo the merge, there are some ways to do this with Git. The solution to this is simpler if you haven't yet pushed the changes to a remote repo, and if you have then...

Whether you accidentally commit changes, or just realized your previous committed code isn't what you wanted, oftentimes you'll need...
While it's very common to need to create and delete branches in Git, unfortunately the syntax isn't very easy to remember for everyone. Even as a long-time user of Git I need to look up the syntax as a reminder, which admittedly is actually the main motivation behind writing this...
