Checking Git Status

Learn how to check the current state of your Git repository using the `git status` command. Understand staged, unstaged, and untracked changes.

Checking Git Status: Understand Your Project State

The git status command is essential for understanding the current state of your repository. It shows which files have been modified, staged, or remain untracked. This helps avoid mistakes before committing changes.

Why Use git status?

  • Track Changes: See modified files not yet staged.
  • View Staged Files: Check which files are ready for commit.
  • Spot Untracked Files: Detect new files not under version control.
  • Branch Info: Know your current branch and if it’s up-to-date with the remote.

How to Use git status

1. Check Status Anytime

git status

This shows the current state of your working directory and staging area.

2. Example Workflow

Create a new file and check status updates:

echo \\"Sample content\\" > status.txt
git status

The file appears as untracked.

3. Stage and Check Again

git add status.txt
git status

Now, the file shows under \\"Changes to be committed.\\"

Summary

Regularly running git status helps you stay aware of what’s happening in your Git repository, preventing accidental commits or missing files.

Why Smart Contracts Are Revolutionary? (Smart Contracts Use Cases)

A smart contract is a program that runs when certain conditions are met on a blockchain. An automated agreement executes so that all parties can see its outcome immediately without involving an intermediary. In addition to automating workflows, smart contracts can also trigger the next action when conditions are met. This blog discusses how smart contracts are changing the world around us and the benefits they will bring to the market in the future. What is a Smart Contract? The terms of a smart contract can be established in the same way as those of any other contract. However, unlike traditional contracts, a smart contract is executed as code running on a blockchain, for example, Ethereum. From loans and insurance to logistics and gaming, it offer sophisticated peer-to-peer functionality backed by blockchain security, reliability, and accessibility.

A Quick Guide to Tron Network Interaction using Python.

Image
In our Previous article about sending TRC-20 Usdt we explained a little about the Tron network itself, why it is essential and how to send TRC-20 Usdt on Tron network. To make this happen, we first created an Account on shasta testnet. Then we asked for some testnet usdt from the Tron testnet faucet on Tron Discord. Finally transferred our Usdt using the Tronweb JavaScript library. In this tutorial, we will create an account on nile testnet (you can do the same for shasta testnet). Ask for some nile test Tron tokens from the very same faucet we got our shasta Usdt test tokens and then transfer them to another account. Notice that you can do the same on the mainnet, with the difference that there is no faucet and you need to buy the real TRX tokens from an exchange or wallet. Introduction to Tronix (TRX) token? Tronix (TRX) more commonly known as Tron is a token that powers the blockchain with the same name. In order to use Tron-based applications, you must purchase Tronix. For exam...

#36 Multi-Signature Wallet Smart Contract (Part 3)

Image
Welcome to this brand new course about blockchain. In this course, and in the upcoming ones, we will make you familiar with everything you need to know about blockchain. We will also teach you some of the latest blockchain coding skills so that you can enter the fascinating world of decentralized applications. In this video, we will learn about Multi-signature Wallet smart contract. The multi-signature wallet smart contract, represented by the "MultiSignatureWallet" contract, is designed to enable multiple owners to manage and authorize transactions from a shared wallet. The contract allows a predefined group of owners to collectively approve and execute transactions. The owners are specified during contract deployment, and a required number of signatures is set for each transaction to be considered valid. The contract keeps track of the owners, their approval status, and the transaction details. Github Repository: https://github.com/arashtad/Arashtad-Smart-Conrtac...
