Welcome to the js-mini-projects wiki!

This wiki serves as a space to document my journey in developing various mini projects using JavaScript. Here, I share my learnings, challenges, and solutions.

Learnt something interesting today

I forgot to add the HTML file to the first commit of my GuessIndia Game project. I made two more commits after that. Now I need to fix the first commit by adding the missing file. Here comes the learning about how to go to a particular commit and use branching, amending and rebasing.

Key Learnings

Git Commands Used

1. Creating a Temporary Branch at the commit (a5ed137) where the HTML file was missing.

   git checkout -b temp-branch a5ed137
   

2. After switching to the temporary branch, I added the missing HTML file and amended the commit (created new hash value '9ba86b').

   git add misingFile.html
   git commit --amend
   

3. Switching Back to Main Branch

   git checkout main
   

4. Rebasing the Main Branch

   • I used rebasing to integrate the changes from the temporary branch onto the main branch, starting from the commit '9ba86b':

   git rebase --onto temp-branch 9ba86b^ main
   

5. Deleting the Temporary Branch to keep the repository clean

   git branch -d temp-branch
   

Conclusion

This experience not only helped me recover from a problem but also deepened my understanding of Git's powerful branching and commit management features.
