How to manage multiple git accounts (Ubuntu/ Mac) | by ByteCode Pandit

Hi, all teach worries, usually, we fall in a situation where we have to use both our personal as well as office GitHub account. So today I am gonna show you how can we manage multiple GitHub account on a machine. For now, I will set up two accounts.



Please follow the below steps.

Step 1: Have to create the ssh key for your accounts

$ cd ~/.ssh

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "peronsal_email_id"

 # save as id_rsa_personal

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "office_email_id"

 # save as id_rsa_office

Step 2: Have to add id_rsa_personal.pub and id_rsa_office.pub to their respective Github account.

Step 3: Create a config file in the .ssh folder and add the below configs

$ touch config

 # Personal account - default config

 Host github.com-personal

   HostName github.com

   User git

   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal

 # Work account

  Host github.com-office

   HostName github.com

   User git

   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_office

Step 4: Create .gitconfig for personal and office directory with respective config git host names

$ cd ~

$ nano ~/.gitconfig

  [user]

    name = personal_name

    email = personal_email_id

    [includeIf "gitdir:~/office/"]

    path = ~/office/.gitconfig

$ mkdir office

$ nano ~/office/.gitconfig

    [user]

      name = office name

      email = office_email_id

Step 5: Remove all existing keys

$ cd ~/.ssh

$ ssh-add -D

Step 6: Add new ssk keys

$ ssh-add id_rsa_personal

$ ssh-add id_rsa_office

   # check whether ssh added or not

$ ssh-add -l 

Step 7: Check configuration is right by pinging to GitHub with the below commands.

$ ssh -T github.com-personal 

$ ssh -T github.com-office


 #. Congratulations all done!

Step 8: Always clone repo by adding hostname in remote URL

e.g: git clone git@github.com-peronsal:bytecodepandit/repo_name.git

git clone git@github.com-office:bytecodepandit/repo_name.git

Real-Life Use-Cases for useCallback and useMemo

Image
O ne of my friends gives his react interview, and tell me, his interviewer asks him to give some real-life use-cases where he actually uses the  useCallback  and  useMemo  to solve his problem. And unfortunately, he got stuck at that point. I have also taken lots of interviews and personally observed that developers know the definition of  useCallback  and  useMemo  but they actually don’t know when to use them. So they didn’t use it to solve their real-life problems. So in this blog, I will explain when to use them and solve some real-life use-cases in a very simplified way. T a ke a cup of coffee or anything you want 😉 and let’s begin. https://c.tenor.com/ useCallback One of my friends was making arguing with me that we have to wrap the all function in  useCallback  which we are passing as props in the child component . “Every callback function should be memoized to prevent useless re-rendering of child components that use the callbac...

React's useImperativeHandle with practical example | by ByteCode Pandit

Hi, all techies today we are going to discuss the react's important hook useImperativeHandle. What it solved for me When I was working on a react-native project, there was a situation when I have to toggle the modal view. So for that, I just took another boolean state in the parent component and changed it. import React , { useState } from 'react' ; import { Pressable , Text , View } from 'react-native' ; export const ParentComponent = ( props : any ) => { const [ showModal , setShowModal ] = useState < boolean >( false ); const toggleModal = ( value : boolean ) => { setShowModal ( value ); } return < View > < Pressable onPress = { () => toggleModal ( true ) } >< Text > Show Modal </ Text ></ Pressable > { showModal && < ModalComponent /> } </ View > } But because as we know whenever we change the state of the component it gets rerender wh...

Understand NgModule in 15 mins | by Bytecode Pandit

Image
NgModule is really a very important concept of angular. And it helps to wire-up some important information for the compiler during run time. They are specially used for organizing the code into features, lazy loading routes, and creating reusable libraries. We're going to cover some important uses of NgModule with some examples. I assume you have some working knowledge of Angular. JavaScript Modules I want to clear that NgModules are completely different from modules in javascript (sometimes called ES6 module). They are simply a language construct that helps us to organize our code. For more information pls visit Javascript Modules Let's dive into NgModule, the AppModule. Let's start looking at a basic NgModule that exists in every Angular application i.e AppModule  import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser' ; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core' ; import { AppComponent } from './app.component' ; @ NgModule ( { ...
