PBS 108 of X — Merging & Tagging

In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots continues on his series within a series explaining the version control system Git. We advance in our branching strategy by working several commits on our dev branch and then learn to use a merge commit to bring only the final commit into the main branch, leaving the half-working intermediate commits to exist only on the dev branch. This process illustrates the need to learn about tags, both light-weight and annotated. Once we understand how these tags work and their importance, we evolve our PBS branching strategy one step further. Bart's tutorial shownotes are available at pbs.bartificer.net/...
