Developer Tools Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

Nothing beats learning by doing. Here’s a brief outline of a project that integrates several of the trends and tools mentioned above:

• Framework: Choose Next.js for its versatility.
• Styling: Integrate Tailwind CSS for a responsive design.
• Containerization: Install Docker to containerize your application for development and production.

Rebasing is a way to integrate changes from one branch into another. Unlike merge, which creates a new commit to combine the histories of the two branches, rebase moves or combines a sequence of commits to a new base commit. This can help keep your commit history linear and more readable.

# Rebase the current branch onto another branch
git rebase <branch>

# Rebase interactively, allowing you to squash, reword, or drop commits
git rebase -i <branch>

# Continue rebase after resolving conflicts
git rebase --continue

# Skip the current commit during a rebase
git rebase --skip

# Abort a rebase and return to the original branch state
git rebase --abort

This script creates a new branch, switches to it, and pushes it to the remote repository.

Merging branches is another common task that can be automated to avoid conflicts and errors:

For managing project deadlines, create a Deadlines.js file:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

const Deadlines = () => {
  const [deadlines, setDeadlines] = useState([
    { project: 'Project A', dueDate: '2023-12-01' },
    { project: 'Project B', dueDate: '2023-12-15' }
  ]);

  return (
    <div>
      <ul>
        {deadlines.map((deadline, index) => (
          <li key={index}>
            <strong>{deadline.project}</strong>: {deadline.dueDate}
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );
};

export default Deadlines;

You can continue to add more commands to your extension to enhance its functionality. For example, you could add a command to quickly format code, open frequently used files, or perform project-specific tasks.

Once your extension is ready, you can share it with others by publishing it to the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
