# DevOps: Day 12 - Git and GitHub - The fundamentals of git and github is version control system. - The two problems version control systems solve are * Versioning. * Sharing of code. - Some of the version control system we have are: * CVS: Centralized * SVN: Centralized * Git: Distributed - Fork is creating an entire copy of the original source code as your own copy. - Git is a distributed version control system. And it is an open source tool. - Github (bitbucket etc.) is a solution that is built ontop of git. Used for project management, keeping of code, code review, comment etc. - To see everything under git, all the options, simply type `git` on The terminal and Press enter. - To initialize git, use `git init` this will initialize an empty git repository. - Every DevOps Engineer should understand the lifecycle of git. Which are the three basic commands of: * git add: track file(s) * git commit: tell git what changes you have made in those/that file. * git push - git diff: to check for the exact changes that were/was made. - git log: to check for all the commits for a file/files. - Lets say you have a project having two versions committed, and then you're asked to return to the first version (first commit), here is what you're supposed to do: * use git log to check for all commits * copy the commit hash i.e the first commit hash * git reset --hard <commit hash>. So technically, one can go back to any previous version of His/Her code with git. - To share code within the distributed system is where github/bitbucket/gitlab comes in. Thank you! #devops #git #github #version #versioncontrol #vc #tech

❓ Ի՞նչ է Git Flow-ն Git-ն այն հիմնական գործիքն է, որին պետք է տիրապետի յուրաքանչյուր դեվելոփեր, ու կարծում եմ՝ դրանով գրագետ աշխատելը շատ կարևոր է ցանկացած նախագծում։ Գոյություն ունեն Git-ով աշխատելու տարբեր մոտեցումներ, բայց այսօր կխոսենք ամենահայտնիներից մեկի՝ Git Flow-ի մասին։ Այն ամենատարածված workflows-ներից մեկն է։ Ինչպե՞ս է աշխատում Git Flow-ն։ Git Flow-ն հիմնված է մի քանի հիմնական ճյուղերի (branches) վրա, որոնցից յուրաքանչյուրն ունի իր կոնկրետ նպատակը. • main – Պարունակում է production-ի համար պատրաստի կոդը։ Այստեղ յուրաքանչյուր commit նշանակում է կայուն release: • release – Ստեղծվում է develop-ից՝ նոր release-ի պատրաստվելիս։ Այն օգտագործվում է վերջնական թեստավորման և մանր bug-երի ուղղման համար՝ նախքան main-ի և develop-ի մեջ merge անելը։ • develop – Հիմնական մշակման ճյուղն է։ Feature branch-երը ստեղծվում են հենց այստեղից, իսկ աշխատանքն ավարտելուց հետո՝ նորից միացվում (merge) develop-ին։ • feature – Յուրաքանչյուր նոր ֆունկցիոնալ մշակվում է առանձին branch-ում, որը ստեղծվում է develop-ից և ավարտից հետո հետ միացվում դրան։ • hotfix – Ստեղծվում է անմիջապես main-ից՝ production-ում ծագած խնդիրներն արագ ուղղելու համար։ Ուղղումից հետո այն merge է արվում և՛ main-ին, և՛ develop-ին՝ բոլոր ճյուղերը թարմ պահելու համար։ Ինչու՞ օգտագործել Git Flow: Եթե նախագիծը փոքր է և թիմում քիչ մարդիկ են, Git Flow-ն երևի ամենալավ ընտրությունը չլինի։ Բայց եթե մեծ, արագ զարգացող և բազմաֆունկցիոնալ նախագծի է, որտեղ ներգրավված է մեծ թիմ, ուրեմն Git Flow-ն իդեալական տարբերակ է։ 👇 English Below ❓ What is Git Flow? Git is the main tool that every developer should know, and I think working with it is very important in any project. There are many different approaches to working with Git, but today we will talk about the most well-known one - Git Flow. Git Flow is one of the most widely used Git workflows in software development. How does Git Flow work? Git Flow is based on several key branches, each with its own purpose: • main - Contains production-ready code. Every commit here represents a stable release. • release - Created from develop when preparing for a new release. It’s used for final testing and minor bug fixes before merging into main and develop. • develop - The main development branch. Feature branches are created from it, and after the work is done, they are merged back into develop. • feature - Each new feature is developed in its own branch, created from develop and merged back once it’s complete. • hotfix - Created from main to quickly fix production issues. Once fixed, it’s merged back into both main and develop to keep all branches updated. Why you might want to use Git Flow? If your project is small and doesn’t involve many developers, Git Flow is not the most suitable option. But if your project is large, rapidly evolving, multifunctional, and has a big team, then Git Flow is ideal for your project. #DevOps #SimplyDevOps #Git #GitFlow #GitWorkflows

Day 14 – “Git Week Wrap-Up – The 14-Minute Guide Every DevOps Engineer Should Know 💻✨” After 7 days of digging through Git commands, merges, stashes, conflicts, logs, and cleanups… one thing becomes clear: Git isn’t just a tool — it’s your project’s memory. Today’s post is a simple, no-nonsense recap of everything we mastered this week. If someone wants a one-page Git guide, this is it. 🧱 1. Starting the Project (Day 8) Commands: git init, git status, git add, git commit, git log Theme: Every repo starts with a heartbeat — your first commit. Why it matters: This is Git’s foundation. If you understand these five, you understand 50% of Git already. 🌿 2. Branching & Collaboration (Day 9) Commands: git branch, git checkout, git merge, git diff, git log --graph Theme: Git branching = teamwork + separation of responsibilities. Why it matters: Teams scale only when code can move independently and merge smoothly. 🌐 3. Remotes & Syncing (Day 10) Commands: git clone, git remote, git fetch, git pull, git push Theme: Your local repo is only half the story — GitHub is the other half. Why it matters: Modern DevOps = distributed teams + shared repos. Remote syncing is the backbone. 💥 4. Merge Conflicts & Recovery (Day 11) Commands: git merge, git diff, git stash, git restore, git reset Theme: Git isn’t confusing — communication is. Why it matters: Conflicts happen. Knowing how to solve them saves time, nerves, and releases. 🕵️ 5. Debugging & Investigating (Day 12) Commands: git blame, git show, git reflog, git bisect, advanced logs Theme: Sometimes you don’t debug code — you debug history. Why it matters: Faster root cause = faster fixes = fewer late-night on-call moments. 🧹 6. Repo Maintenance (Day 13) Commands: .gitignore, git clean, git tag, git fsck, git gc Theme: Clean repos deploy better. Why it matters: A healthy repo = reliable builds, smoother CI/CD pipelines, and smaller artifacts. 🎯 Moral of the Week Git isn’t about memorizing commands. It’s about developing intuition: When to commit When to branch When to merge When to debug When to clean Master this intuition → you become unstoppable in any DevOps role. 🚀 ❓ Your Turn After 14 days of Linux + Git… Which Git command finally “clicked” for you this week?

✅ Why Every Developer Should Master Git: More Than Just Version Control In modern software development, Git is no longer optional—it’s a fundamental skill. Whether you’re building enterprise applications, contributing to open-source, or managing cloud-native deployments, Git empowers teams to collaborate efficiently while maintaining complete control over code changes. At its core, Git is a distributed version control system that tracks changes, enables teamwork, and ensures code integrity. What makes Git the industry standard is not just versioning—it’s the freedom and safety it gives developers. ✅ Key Advantages of Using Git Branching & Merging: Developers can work on features independently without disrupting the main codebase. When ready, changes are merged with proper history. Collaboration Made Easy: GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket make teamwork seamless—pull requests, code reviews, and issue tracking become part of the workflow. Full History Tracking: Every change is recorded. You always know who changed what and why—making debugging and auditing simple. Distributed Architecture: Every developer has a full local copy of the repository, ensuring speed, reliability, and backup. ✅ Real-World Impact DevOps, CI/CD, and automation pipelines rely heavily on Git. Tools like Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Actions pull code, trigger builds, run tests, and deploy applications automatically. Without Git, modern automation simply wouldn’t work. ✅ If You’re New to Git Start with the basics: init, add, commit, push, and pull. Then explore branching strategies like GitFlow, feature branching, and trunk-based development. The more you use Git, the more powerful it becomes. 🔁 Whether you're a beginner or a senior engineer, improving Git skills enhances productivity and teamwork—and keeps you aligned with industry best practices. #Git #DevOps #GitHub #SoftwareDevelopment #Coding #VersionControl #Programming #Cloud #Automation #Linux #Developers #CI #CD #AzureDevOps #GitLab
