If you've been writing JavaScript for even a short amount of time, you're probably still aware of how quickly the language is changing. Given all of these changes, that means there are also multiple ways to perform the same function. In this case I'm referring to looping over arrays using...

While I had initially thought that it's very rare for a remote repository to change location, it actually happens a lot more than I realized. A remote repo may change from one private server to another (like a NAS), from a personal GitHub repo to one in an organization, or...
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...
When collaborating with colleagues, or even when you're just using an open source library, you'll often need to fetch a branch from a remote repository using Git. The "base case" to fetch a branch is fairly simple, but like with many other Git operations, it can become quite...
Whether you've been programming for decades or just started out, at some point in your career you'll need to share your changes to a codebase. Or maybe if you're like me, you might just be paranoid and want to store everything in a remote repository, like GitHub, for safe-keeping in...
As a beginner programmer, or even for many experienced programmers, Git version control can be difficult to learn and master. Much of the reason, in my opinion, is due to the many different commands that exist and the small differences between them. One such example is the difference between git...
Did you make a mistake in naming your Git branch? Or maybe "branch-2" wasn't descriptive enough? Luckily in Git you can rename a local branch pretty easily. And while it is also possible with remote branches, the process is a bit more involved with the use of a...
