Git (Version Control System)

Git Version Control System

Version Control System (VCS) have seen great improvements over the past few decades and some are better than others. VCS are sometimes known as SCM (Source Code Management) tools or RCS (Revision Control System). One of the most popular VCS tools in use today is called Git. 

Like many of the most popular VCS systems available today, Git is free and open source. Git is a mature, actively maintained open source project originally developed in 2005 by Linus Torvalds, the famous creator of the Linux operating system kernel.

Git is a Distributed Version Control System, a category known as DVCS. Rather than have only one single place for the full version history of the software as is common in once-popular version control systems like CVS or Subversion (also known as SVN), in Git, every developer's working copy of the code is also a repository that can contain the full history of all changes.


Some frequently used commands for Git Hub :

1. git config :- It is a convenient way to set configuration options for git installation. This command is typically needed to use immediately after installing Git on a new development machine.

2. git init :- This command It is the first command we need to use revision control for our project. It create a new local repository.

3. git status :- To Show the state of your working directory and the staged snapshot. You can run this in conjunction with git add and git commit to see exactly what is being included in the next snapshot.

4. git add :- Move changes from working directory to the staging area. It gives the opportunity to prepare a snapshot before committing the changes.

5. git commit :- Takes the staged snapshot and commits it to the project history. This command is used after git add to commit the changes.

6. git clone :- It will create a local copy of the existing repository. The original repository can be located on  the local filesystem or on remote machine. 


Configure the author name and email address to be used with your commits.

git config --global user.name "username"

git config --global user.email

Setting up a USB thermal printer with a Raspberry Pi 3B+

It involves a few key steps. Here’s a complete guide to get it working: 1. Gather Required Materials Raspberry Pi 3B+ (with Raspbian OS installed) USB thermal printer USB cable to connect the printer Printer paper Power supply for the Raspberry Pi and printer 2. Connect the Printer Connect the thermal printer to the Raspberry Pi via the USB port. Ensure the printer is powered on and loaded with paper. 3. Install Required Packages Open the terminal on your Raspberry Pi and install the necessary software: Download the driver software for the printer.  Use install.sh file to install it. $ chmod +x install.sh       // make the install.sh file executable $ sudo ./install.sh        // run the install.sh  $ sudo apt install cups libcups2-dev printer-driver-escpr CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) is a printing system that allows the Raspberry Pi to communicate with printers. printer-driver-escpr includes drivers for many thermal printers. 4. Add U...

Autostart an app on reboot - Raspberry Pi

Option 1: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano /etc/rc.local #add path before exit 0 line: su - pi -c "sleep 10 && export DISPLAY=:0 && cd "folderPath" && /usr/bin/python3 fileName.py" & CTRL+O  // to save the changes Enter CTRL+X  // to close the file editor pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo reboot (To check the autostart of the software app.) Option 2: go to /home/pi/.config create an autostart folder create a .desktop file into this. add path of an autoreboot.sh file to it with delay : app.Desktop file [Desktop Entry] Exec=sh -c "sleep 15; /home/pi/on_reboot.sh" Create a virtual environment myenv add app folder to myenv create a on_reboot.sh file in /home/pi/ folder.  Add following paths into this file: #!/bin/bash source /home/pi/Documents/myenv/bin/activate cd /home/pi/Documents /myenv/MyApp python3 app.py sudo reboot to check the autostart of the software app.
