It’s not uncommon for government entities to look to tech leaders in the private sector for trends and technologies. Specifically, the Department of Defense (DoD) has made a concerted effort to modernize software development processes and tool acquisition. In this article, we will reference two 2019 reports created to guide the DoD’s DevSecOps implementation and ongoing success.
Coding Sans has published the State of Software Development Report since 2018 in an effort to uncover the rapidly evolving trends of this particularly agile industry. Each year, the report highlights challenges, best practices, and the tools that are driving the software development industry, and how things have changed year over year.
What is interactive rebase in Git? And how does one rebase interactively? In this advanced Git tutorial, we will go over everything you need to know to understand what interactive rebase is, how to confidently utilize the feature in GitKraken, and an example of how interactive rebase works in Git.
Earlier this week, our organization made a big decision. From Monday to Tuesday, Axosoft transitioned from being an in-person company to an entirely remote-based workforce overnight. Our organization’s leadership determined this to be a necessary and preemptive measure in our efforts to minimize effects of the CoronaVirus Pandemic and how it affects our team members. Starting tomorrow, my company, Axosoft, is going all remote until further notice.
Enterprise teams face unique challenges when it comes to software development. Managing more developers means managing more code, more projects, more logistics… the list goes on. Many technical enterprise teams have adopted a DevOps strategy to help bridge the gap between code development and operations. When developers work in tandem with system architects to break down silos, it can have an incredible effect on the organization’s productivity and culture.
The increasing popularity of Git in the software industry has led to the introduction of numerous tools designed to make the version control experience faster and more intuitive. The most notable tool for enhancing a developer’s Git workflow is a graphical user interface (GUI). Most Git GUIs on the market today offer a variety of features for simplifying Git commands into quick actions; many also have a heavy focus on making collaboration easier.
Whether you’re new to programming, considering going to school to be a software developer, or an industry vet looking to modernize your toolbelt, understanding Git can be vitally important. Git is a version control system that was first developed back in 2005. It’s completely free to use and its unique branching model makes it one of the most popular systems out there.
Is your organization going through a DevOps transformation? Perhaps you’ve even been tasked to head up the project. And surely, part of this transformation is going to include source control management. More and more enterprise companies are using Git to manage their code and file changes. One of the most popular Git hosting services for large teams, particularly those partial to Microsoft’s robust suite of developer tools, is Azure DevOps.
The latest updates to the GitKraken Client are so forking good, you’re sure to break into your Kraken happy dance. We know Keif did.

Source control, aka version control, is the method of tracking and managing changes to software code. Source Control Management (SCM) systems offer a running history of code changes and can be particularly helpful for teams of developers making changes to the same files. As a critical aspect of responsible software development, source control helps developers track code changes, see complete revision history, and revert back to a previous version of a project if needed.
