In part 1 of the GitOps blog series, we discussed the value of using GitOps for Calico policies, and how to roll out such a framework. In this second part of the series, we will expand the scope to include decentralized deployment and GitOps.

At Sentry, we’re big fans of continuous integration and deployment. We’re also big fans of GitHub — and not just because we employ a number of notable GitHub alumni. We use our own GitHub integration to link issues, identify suspect commits that likely introduced new errors, and suggest assignees who can best resolve each issue. Last month, GitHub released GitHub Actions for general availability.

When it comes to the most popular technologies, we look to Stack Overflow’s Developer Survey 2019 to find the answers. JavaScript continues to be the most commonly used programming language for 7 years in a row, while Python is the fastest growing. If you want to find out what tools these developers are using, that’s where our survey comes in. For the fourth year in a row, Axosoft asked our global community of software developers to tweet their top 5 #MustHaveDevTools.

On 12-10-2019, Git released patch v2.24.1 to address several common vulnerabilities and exposures, or CVE. For those unfamiliar with what CVE is, it is a dictionary that provides definitions for publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures. These security issues could allow complete takeover of a computer through the use of various git commands. They can affect all Git and GitKraken users, especially those that have exposure to lots of obscure public repos.

Commits are fundamental to Git, but not all developers have a comprehensive understanding of what a commit actually is and how it gets applied to your project. In short, a commit is a snapshot of your Git repository at one point in time. In this beginner Git tutorial video, we will dig into the journey of creating a commit.

Here at Honeybadger, we are big fans of GitHub Actions' workflow automation and CI/CD features. We like it so much that we decided to add two of our own contributions to the community! Now you can trace stacks at light speed by uploading your source maps to Honeybadger directly from GitHub using your original, un-minified Javascript code.

Now that GitHub Actions version 2 is out of Beta and available for general use, how can you start managing your Artifactory repositories in your automated DevOps workflows? Who will save your binaries in distress? Never fear, JFrog is here! A new Action has joined the GitHub Marketplace that enables you to use the JFrog CLI in your GitHub Actions workflows to move your builds through development, test, and release.

Before diving into Git, it’s important to understand the concept of version control at a high level. While not all software developers utilize version control, nor is software development the only industry that does, it is becoming more mainstream every year. And you can bet you will be confronted with version control as a developer if you ever collaborate with others on a workplace team or on open source projects.
