It is a mechanism used to propose changes to a codebase in a collaborative software development environment. Benefits of a pull request workflow Isolation of Changes: Each pull request is associated with a specific branch, allowing changes to be isolated until they are thoroughly reviewed and tested. Collaborative Code Review: They facilitate collaborative code reviews, allowing multiple team members to review and discuss proposed changes before merging.https://tin3ga.netlify.app/experience/icta/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://tin3ga.netlify.app/experience/icta/ICT Authority | Machakos, Kenya | Jan 2022 - Apr 2022https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/appimage-software-menu-shortcut/Tue, 23 Mar 2021 10:35:54 +0300https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/appimage-software-menu-shortcut/Introduction I am going demonstrate how you can add an appimage application shortcut to linux desktop system’s application menu and also how to customize its icon.But first lets get to understand what an appimage software is. What is an appimage application For starters,there are many ways an application can be installed in a linux system i.e deb packages,snaps,flatpaks and appimages.Our focus today is appimages.

It allows developers to describe all the services that make up an application in a single YAML file, defining the relationships and configurations between them. Docker Compose then uses this YAML configuration to deploy and manage the application’s containers as a single unit. Docker Compose is particularly useful for development environments, testing, and deploying multi-container applications in a consistent and reproducible manner.https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/crafting-a-docker-image-for-your-flask-web-app/Sat, 13 Jan 2024 12:21:10 +0300https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/crafting-a-docker-image-for-your-flask-web-app/Introduction🐋 Docker is a revolutionary containerization platform that streamlines software development and deployment. It encapsulates applications and their dependencies, ensuring consistency across different environments. Docker eliminates the “it works on my machine” problem, promoting collaboration and scalability. Its efficient resource utilization and isolation capabilities make it a vital tool for modern software development. Prerequisites 📋 Flask Application.

Getting Started First we need to create a free open weather account to access their API. To use vueCLI, we need to download and install Node.js. Once the installation is completed run the following commands in the terminal.https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/python-one-liners/Thu, 23 Nov 2023 16:58:18 +0300https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/python-one-liners/Multiple variable assignments name, age, occupation = "fatma", 30, "cook" print(name, age, occupation) # fatma 30 cook HTTP server python -m http.server Swap variables a = "a" b = "b" a, b = b, a print(a, b) # b a Ternary operator yob = 1997 print("hey kid(gen alpha)" if yob >= 2013 else "wassup gen z" if yob >= 1995 else"hello future grandma(millennials)" if yob >= 1980 else "hey grandma(gen x)" if yob >= 1965 else "hello ancestor (baby boomer)") # wassup gen z Variable unpacking users = ['kalama', 'kairetu','munga','mwanaisha'] print(*users) #kalama kairetu munga mwanaisha user1, user2 , *other_users= users print(other_users) #['munga', 'mwanaisha'] Reverse a list z = [10,20,30,40] print(z[::-1]) #[40, 30, 20, 10] Sort a list numbers = [1000000, -500000, 999999999, -1000000000, 123456789] print(sorted(numbers)) # [-1000000000, -500000, 1000000, 123456789, 999999999] Sort a list - reversed numbers = [1000000, -500000, 999999999, -1000000000, 123456789] print(sorted(numbers, reverse=True)) #[999999999, 123456789, 1000000, -500000, -1000000000] Filter from a list numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] odd = list(filter(lambda x: x%2!https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/web-scraping-using-selenium/Mon, 09 Oct 2023 17:20:55 +0300https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/web-scraping-using-selenium/Introduction Selenium is a framework that many developers use to automate web browsers. It’s an open source tool that offers compatibility, with web browsers and supports programming languages. While its commonly used for testing web applications it’s also handy for tasks like web scraping and automating browser actions. WebDriver, which is a part of Selenium allows developers to control web browsers programmatically.

Lists are adaptable, flexible, and may store a variety of data kinds, including integers, strings, and even other lists. List comprehension lets you make a new list by applying an expression to each item in an existing iterable (such as a list, tuple, or range) and optionally filtering the items depending on a condition. List comprehensions are a more compact and readable means of creating lists than typical for loops.https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/python-script-automation-in-windows/Fri, 29 Sep 2023 12:46:04 +0300https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/python-script-automation-in-windows/Introduction Sometimes, we need to run Python scripts at regular intervals to complete specific tasks. However, as humans, we often forget or remember too late. Operating systems offer built-in capabilities to schedule the execution of commands or programs when needed. While Linux simplifies task automation through the ‘crontab’ utility, Windows also offers similar functionality. With the right know-how, you can effectively automate tasks in Windows, Windows Task Scheduler Task Scheduler is a built-in utility in Microsoft Windows operating systems that allows users to automate various tasks and processes on their computer.https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/combine-iterables-together-using-zip-function/Tue, 03 Oct 2023 12:05:16 +0300https://tin3ga.netlify.app/posts/combine-iterables-together-using-zip-function/Introduction The zip() function in Python is a built-in function that allows you to combine two or more iterables (such as lists, tuples, or other sequences) element-wise. It creates an iterator that generates tuples, where each tuple contains one element from each of the input iterables. The resulting iterator stops when the shortest input iterable is exhausted. This is particularly useful when you want to work with multiple sequences simultaneously.
