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

#!/bin/bash

# Check if branch name is provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
  echo "Please provide a branch name to merge into the current branch."
  exit 1
fi

# Fetch the latest changes
git fetch origin

# Checkout the current branch and merge
git checkout "$1"
git pull origin "$1"

# Merge the specified branch into the current branch
git checkout -
git merge "$1"

# Push the changes to the remote repository
git push

echo "Merged branch '$1' into the current branch and pushed changes."

This will allow you to scaffold a new extension project quickly.

Create a new directory for your extension, navigate into it, and run the following command:

• Manage your app’s settings, including the name, icon, and publishing options.

• Go to the Database tab and create a new collection called “Tasks.”
• Add fields to the Task collection:
• Title (text)
• Description (text)
• Completed (boolean)
• Due Date (date)

• Once the test is successful, give your Zap a name and turn it on by clicking the toggle switch.

• Use the Zapier dashboard to monitor your Zap’s activity and performance.
• Check the Zap History to view successful and failed tasks.
