On 12-10-2019, Git released patch v2.24.1 to address several common vulnerabilities and exposures, or CVE. For those unfamiliar with what CVE is, it is a dictionary that provides definitions for publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures. These security issues could allow complete takeover of a computer through the use of various git commands. They can affect all Git and GitKraken users, especially those that have exposure to lots of obscure public repos.

Commits are fundamental to Git, but not all developers have a comprehensive understanding of what a commit actually is and how it gets applied to your project. In short, a commit is a snapshot of your Git repository at one point in time. In this beginner Git tutorial video, we will dig into the journey of creating a commit.

Before diving into Git, it’s important to understand the concept of version control at a high level. While not all software developers utilize version control, nor is software development the only industry that does, it is becoming more mainstream every year. And you can bet you will be confronted with version control as a developer if you ever collaborate with others on a workplace team or on open source projects.

The GitKraken Git Client was one of the first software products of its kind to hit the market in August 2014, built by Axosoft developers who were on a mission to find a Git GUI that didn’t suck. One that could quickly show who was doing what, to which file, on any project; one that could help expedite individual workflows and improve team collaboration; one that visually blew the minds of everyone who interacted with it.

It’s no surprise to learn that the team at GitKraken is passionate about Git. So passionate, in fact, that we created an educational database featuring our Learning Git with GitKraken YouTube series, educational white papers, cheat sheets, and more. And our partners at Syncfusion are no different. In a previous article, Bharat Dwarkani, technical product manager at Syncfusion, describes how the Gitflow model has simplified his organization’s development and release processes.

GitKraken issue boards are designed to make developers more successful with intuitive project management and issue tracking. Features like Slack integration and GitHub pull request linking are just two recent examples of how the GitKraken team is constantly updating this product to enhance productivity and organization for individual developers and teams. Our latest Glo Boards release is no different; we bring you dashboards and milestones!

Since the inception of Glo Boards for task and issue tracking, the GitKraken team has continued to add robust features that allow developers to be more productive. And our latest addition is no different. GitKraken Glo Boards now supports linking GitHub pull requests with Glo cards.

At first, learning software development can feel like being lost in a maze…like the weird, scary maze from the Labyrinth. You’re learning languages upon languages, equations and variables, time management and organization – it’s madness I tell you, madness!! But fear not! Learning software development in 2019 means that you have numerous tools at your disposal to help ease the transition from normal human to coding master. And the best part?!

Like all of our legendary GitKraken dev tools, Glo Boards is specifically designed to make developers and teams more productive. While Glo has always made it fast and easy to manage tasks and issues, we’ve taken it one step further. According to the 2019 State of Software Development Report by Coding Sans, more than half of development teams worldwide are using Slack to communicate during a project.
