LOCAL CHANGES
Changed files in your working directory
$ git status

$ git diff
Add all current changes to the next commit
$ git add .
Add some changes in <file> to the next commit
$ git add -p <file>
Commit all local changes in tracked files
$ git commit -a
Commit previously staged changes
$ git commit
Change the last commit
Don‘t amend published commits!
$ git commit --amend

COMMIT HISTORY
Show all commits, starting with newest
$ git log
Show changes over time for a specific file
$ git log -p <file>
Who changed what and when in <file>
$ git blame <file>

BRANCHES & TAGS
List all existing branches
$ git branch
Switch HEAD branch
$ git checkout <branch>
Create a new branch based on your current HEAD
$ git branch <new-branch>
Create a new tracking branch based on a remote branch
$ git checkout --track <remote/branch>
Delete a local branch
$ git branch -d <branch>
Mark the current commit with a tag
$ git tag <tag-name>

UPDATE & PUBLISH
List all currently configured remotes
$ git remote -v
Show information about a remote
$ git remote show <remote>
Add new remote repository, named <remote>
$ git remote add <remote> <url> 
Download all changes from <remote>,
but don‘t integrate into HEAD
$ git fetch <remote>
Download changes and directly merge/ integrate into HEAD
$ git pull <remote> <branch>
Publish local changes on a remote
$ git push <remote> <branch>
Delete a branch on the remote
$ git branch -dr <remote/branch>
Publish your tags
$ git push --tags

MERGE & REBASE
Merge <branch> into your current HEAD
$ git merge <branch>
Rebase your current HEAD onto <branch>
Don‘t rebase published commits!
$ git rebase <branch>
Abort a rebase
$ git rebase --abort
Continue a rebase after resolving conflicts $ git rebase --continue
Use your configured merge tool to solve conflicts
$ git mergetool
Use your editor to manually solve conflicts and (after resolving) mark file as resolved
$ git add <resolved-file>

Discard all local changes in your working directory
$ git reset --hard HEAD

How to protect your APIs with self contained access token (JWT) using WSO2 API Manager and WSO2 Identity Server

In a typical enterprise information system, there is a high chance that people will use different types of systems built by different vendors to implement certain types of functionalities. The APIs might be hosted in an API Manager developed by vendor A and the user management can be implemented using a different vendor (vendor B). In this type of a situation, one system will not be able to directly contact the other system but they want to use both systems in tandem. Self-contained access tokens are used in these types of situations where applications can get the token from one system and use that in another system to access protected resources. In this scenario, the second system does not need to make a contact to the first system over the network to validate the user information since the token is self-contained and it has relevant details about the user. This will improve the token processing time significantly since it completely removes the network interaction. The below fig...

WSO2 ESB creating a response for a "GET" request

When you are creating REST APIs with WSO2 ESB, you may need to send some response message back to the user when something goes wrong. In this kind of scenario, you can create a payload inside the ESB and send it back. For doing this, you can use the below configuration. <api xmlns=" http://ws.apache.org/ ns/synapse " name="LoopBackProxy" context="/loopback">    <resource methods="POST GET">       <inSequence>          <property name="NO_ENTITY_BODY" scope="axis2" action="remove"></property>          <log level="full"></log>          <payloadFactory media-type="xml">             <format>                <m:messageBeforeLoopBack xmlns:m=" http://services...

WSO2 ESB usage of get-property function

What are Properties? WSO2 has a huge set of mediators but property mediator is mostly used mediator for writing any proxy service or API. Property mediator is used to store any value or xml fragment temporarily during life cycle of a thread for any service or API. We can compare “Property” mediator with “Variable” in any other traditional programming languages (Like: C, C++, Java, .Net etc). There are few properties those are used/maintained by ESB itself and on the other hand few properties can be defined by users (programmers). In other words, we can say that properties can be define in below 2 categories: ESB Defined Properties User Defined Properties. These properties can be stored/defined in different scopes, like: Transport Synapse or Default Axis2 Registry System Operation Generally, these properties are read by get-properties() function. This function can be invoked with below 2 variations. get-property(String propertyName) get-property(String scop...
