How to push changes to Github using GIT GUI?

 Here's how to push changes to GitHub using a GUI:

GIT GUI Installed:

Ensure you have a GIT GUI client installed on your system. Popular options include GitKraken, GitHub Desktop, TortoiseGit, etc. Download and install your preferred GIT GUI tool.

Existing Local Repository:

Make sure you have a local Git repository initialised for your project. If you haven't already, you can initialise a Git repository in your project directory using the command line (git init) or through your GIT GUI's initialisation options.

GitHub Remote Repository:

You'll need a GitHub repository to push your local changes to. If you haven't created one yet, follow the steps mentioned previously on creating a repository on GitHub.

Steps:

  • Launch your GIT GUI client and open the directory containing your project files.
  •  Most GIT GUIs will automatically detect changes in your working directory. You can usually see a section highlighting modified or new files.
  • In the GIT GUI interface, look for a section or button related to staging changes. This might be labelled "Stage," "Add to commit," or something similar. Select the files you want to include in your next commit or use the "Stage All" option to stage all modified and new files.
  • Once you've staged your changes, find the commit section in your GIT GUI. Enter a descriptive commit message that explains your changes. Click the "Commit" button to create a snapshot of the current state of your project with your staged changes.
  • Locate the section related to remotes or pushing in your GIT GUI. This might be labelled "Push," "Remote," "Origin," or something similar. It will likely display the configured remote repository (origin) for your project.
  • If you're using branching in your project, you'll need to select the specific branch you want to push your changes to. The GIT GUI will usually display the current branch and allow you to choose a different one if needed.
  • Click the "Push" button or option within the remote/branch section of your GIT GUI. This will initiate the process of uploading your local commits to the remote repository on GitHub.
  • The first time you push to your remote repository, you may be prompted to enter your GitHub username and password for authentication.

What are the benefits of following DevOps practices?

DevOps practices offers a multitude of benefits for software development and delivery, fostering a more collaborative, efficient, and reliable environment. DevOps practices create a culture of continuous improvement, faster innovation, and higher quality software delivery. Here are some key advantages: Faster Delivery and Deployment: DevOps practices heavily leverage automation for tasks like building, testing, and deployment. This streamlines the process, eliminates manual errors, and allows for more frequent releases. Code changes are integrated and tested continuously, catching bugs early and enabling quicker deployments with reduced risk. Improved Software Quality: DevOps bridges the gap between development and operations teams, fostering better communication and shared ownership of quality. Testing is integrated throughout the development life-cycle, not just at the end, leading to earlier detection and resolution of issues. Increased Reliability and Stability: Infrastructure prov

What is a client and a server?

A client is the one who makes the requests and the server is the one who serves those requests. It's usually a computer hardware device or software that accesses a service made available by a server.  Imagine you walk in a restaurant and order ( request) some food for a specific dish  ( service ) from the menu (available resources).  The server is like the waiter who takes the customer's order, delivers it to the kitchen ( processes the request ), and brings back the prepared food ( response ) to the customer.

Explain STLC with an example?

Image
The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) s a set of phases that defines the testing approach for a software development project. It outlines the various activities and tasks involved in ensuring the quality and reliability of the software being developed. The STLC includes the following phases: Requirement Analysis: In this phase, testers analyse the requirements documents to understand what needs to be tested. They identify testable requirements, create test scenarios, and determine the testing scope. Test Planning: Test planning involves defining the test objectives, test strategy, test approach, and resources required for testing. Test plans and schedules are created based on factors such as project timelines, budget, and available resources. Test Case Development: Test cases are developed based on the test scenarios identified during the requirement analysis phase. Test cases outline the steps to be executed, the expected results, and the test data required for each test scenario. Te
