Hey  Junilu,
it's basically what I list at the beginning of the guide, i.e. scenarios like the following:

But did you ever botch a merge and then your solution was to delete and re-clone your repository? Without quite knowing what went wrong and why?

Or did a rebase suddenly make tens of merge conflicts pop up, one after another and you didn’t know what the hell was going on?

In short, do you have nagging doubts, whenever it comes to merging, rebasing and cherry-picking?

Hope that makes sense.

Just to quickly answer Han: you'll need to know all these basics already for the guide to make sense.

Frankly, my guide (it's more of a guide, than a full blown book) is more geared towards intermediates, who already have some practice with merging, rebasing, cherry-picking and want to understand what they're actually doing and avoid the most common problems with those 3 that people have on a daily basis.

Still, I'd be interested to see what a complete Git beginner might make out of the guide, always interested in such feedback

I can basically only second what Stephan said.

The most important part is this. Take any folder you want, put ONE file inside, aka "hello.txt", run "git init" and then you have a full-blown git repository that you can use to add/commit your file.

Especially if you want to get started with it/play with it, just take a folder with ONE file inside. It let's you practice literally everything that you'd want to practice, without being scared too much.

Hope that makes sense

I frankly don't know anything about RTC, had never heard of it before.

Just wanted to say @Raju, you're doing a fantastic job with your blog and the book. Hats off!

Yes, Raju is spot on. Also, yup, the blobs are in fact compressed/deflated (and also merged as soon as the repo grows) but that is another topic.

All in all, it's quite the nifty storage mechanism, but it's also the reason why Git isn't a great version control system for something like games, with a large number of binary artifacts that change often. In those cases, you'll find companies use Perforce.

Hi all,
a pleasure to be here once again!

Live-Coding our payment integration continues this Sunday @ 18:00 CET! 🥳

This time with more Spring boot database programming, as well as testing and agile feature enhancements to the existing app.

Don't miss it, would love to talk to you in the chat!

Hey folks,
I published my first coding live stream a couple of days ago. It's about building a credit pard payment webapp from scratch and was very well received by the audience.

You can have a look at it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BIDNKRluql4

Hi Coderanchers,

I just published my take on sensible interview questions: 11 Spring Boot Interview Questions That Make You Think

https://www.marcobehler.com/guides/spring-boot-interview-questions

Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions that you like to ask yourself!

Congratulations!

Hi Frits,
whilst the book is not about JPA/Hibernate, it covers all the fundamentals that Hibernate is built upon. So, wether it is connecting pooling, transactions or optimistic/pessimistik locking. I think it's pretty much helpful for _any_ Java database developer.

Nope. All book examples are based on the embeddable H2 (Java) database and it's explained in great detail how you add it to the project. Though some exercises leave it open to yourself, to repeat them with an installed database like MySQL etc.

Nah, they shouldn't worry. I meant more "legacy" concepts like Class.forName etc. Anyhow
