ITSRYNNO TOOLKIT // DEVELOPMENT

Git
Hub

The place where my code actually lives. I use GitHub for repositories, version history, projects, releases and keeping a record of what changed when something inevitably breaks.

Web platform Used regularly Source control

Why I use it

Version history without the headache

Every useful change gets a commit, which means I can see what changed, when it changed and roll back when something goes horribly wrong. It also gives my projects one central place to live.

Quick commands

The Git basics

Check changes git status

Stage files git add .

Save a commit git commit

Send to GitHub git push

Recommended workflow

Small changes, clear commits

Make one clear change at a time instead of mixing unrelated edits into one giant commit.
Give commits useful messages so the history tells you what actually happened.
Check the final diff before pushing, especially when editing a live website.

Useful features

More than a code dump

Repository history makes it easy to trace a change back to the commit that introduced it.
Issues and project boards keep bigger ideas from getting lost between builds.
Pull requests give changes a place to be reviewed before they become part of the main branch.

ITSRYNNO tip

The commit history is basically my undo button

When a change works, commit it. When the next change destroys everything, the previous commit gives you a known point to return to instead of trying to remember what the hell you changed.

Platform status

GitHub is treated as a web platform in the Toolkit, so no fake desktop-version number is shown.
