Releases
Releases are packaged versions of your project that you can distribute to users. Although not a concept specific to Git, releases are an integral part of software development and version control. Releases are used to mark specific points in the project's development, commonly including a collection of changes, bug fixes, and new features since the last release. When creating a release, you typically tag the commit representing the project's state at that release, facilitating easy access and usage of specific versions by users.
On platforms like GitHub, creating releases simplifies the process for users to download and engage with your project. Releases allow for the attachment of various assets such as built binaries, source code, or documentation, which users can directly download from the GitHub user interface.
Hi! I'm Alex, creator of GitByBit.
And this is Gitopedia—a reference that summarizes knowledge in my Git course.
Gitopedia is designed to be a personal knowledge base. When you progress through the main Git course in VS Code, you unlock all of these topics, one by one, bit by bit. This gives you time to digest the information and gradually build the mental model of Git. Here's an example of how it works:
Learning directly in VS Code lets you practice Git exactly as you would in real life, doing real jobs, writing real code. In addition, the course has access to your actual terminal, so it can point out mistakes, suggest workarounds, etc.
The course is FREE, there are no Ads or other bullshit. There are optional premium add-ons you can purchase, mainly to support my work (regrettably, I have to eat every day), but that's totally up to you.
