Contribute to dev.to

dev.to Is an open source project

We found an issue with auto save - so that when I write text, the system will automatically save it, or save changes but keep editing.

Built on Forem

Go to Issues

Before we open a new issue it is recommended to check if the issues was already addressed:

Use the Filters to search for the issue. Search for 'autosave'.

Can also search Pull requests or Discussions

Advance pull-request locally

E.g. I find that somebody sent a pull request with a solution to my problem, but it's not advancing.

I can advance that pull request on my end:

git clone <the project's github url>

Fetch the pull request by its number

git fetch origin pull/1357/head

git checkout -b b1357 FETCH-HEAD

Now I'm in a branch that contains the pull request code change.

FETCH_HEAD is a special file inside the '.git' folder, that was created when I run git fetch and it contains the SHA of the pull request.

cat .git/FETCH_HEAD

Just like HEAD is a file which points to where I am currently located locally (which SHA).

cat .git/HEAD

Now I will merge the pull request with the main branch into a new branch

git checkout main
git checkout -b szabgab
git merge b1357

HEAD is a pointer to where I am currently in the git commits tree.

Git Conflicts

git merge <some branch>

Might cause conflicts. To resolve the conflicts, first locate the conflicting files:

git status

Edit the conflicting file:

vim <file with conflict>

Search for '>>>' or '<<<' and edit the file to resolve the conflict.

To cancel the merge that caused conflicts

git merge --abort

Docker for running the project

An example for a docker image created by @szabgab :

https://github.com/szabgab/mydocker

docker build -t mydocker .

An alias to run the docker

alias dr='docker run -it --rm --workdir /opt -v$(pwd):/opt mydocker bash'
dr

Tests

It is recommended to find out how to run tests locally. It is normally somewhere in the docs.

Tests coverage report

Codecov Report

During the tests run on GitHub or GitLab, the source code is being analyzed for which lines of code run as a result of the tests run, meaning those lines of code are being tested. A report is generated with the percentage of lines that are being tested (lines of code that run during the tests).

It is recommended that the code coverage be closest to 100%.

Some code may be deprecated, hence its not tested, so the code should be removed.

Or, perhaps a new function was added without a test.
