How to create a GitHub Repository

-
Creating your first GitHub Repository
  • Prerequisite: You have a local project ready which you wish to push to your GitHub repo and you have git installed on your machine.
  • Open terminal and cd to your local project directory. 
 cd /your-local-project-directory-path/
  • Initialize the project directory as a Git repository.
git init
  • Open github.com in your browser and log in with your GitHub account, if you don't have an account already, create one. Click on the "New repository" button displayed on the page. This will take you to "Create a new repository" page. Enter the name you will keep for your repository in the "Repository name" text field. You can choose to initialize your repository with a README file and also add a .gitignore file, but this is optional.

  • Click on Create repository button and your repository will be created and you will be redirected to your repository page. 

  • Click on "Clone or download" button and copy the URL displayed therein. You can Clone using SSH or HTTPS. I am using SSH here as you can see in the screenshot below.

  • Now its time to go back to our terminal and add the remote address as the URL we copied in the previous step.  
 git remote add origin git@github.com:git-account-name/git-repo-name.git
  • Next, you can add your username and email in the config file if it is different from what you have in your global config. If you are not sure what I mean, you can still go ahead and do this, it will not be of any harm.  
git config user.name "YOUR SECOND GIT USERNAME"
git config user.email "YOUR SECOND GIT EMAIL ADDRESS"
  • You can now do a git pull to get the README or .gitignore file you have added in your remote git repository.  
 git pull origin master
  • Now you are ready to do your first commit. Start it by doing a git status, then add your files you want to push and finally do your first git commit to this repo. 
git status
git add 
git commit -m "first commit"
  • You can now again check your commit by running git status. Its time you push this commit to the remote repository by using git push command.
git push -u origin master
  • Go back to your browser and refresh the page, you will be able to see your code now in your Git repo.

  • Optional Step: If your upstream is not set properly or you are not sure if it has, set the upstream explicitly by running the below command.  
git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master

Get rid of "Timed out receiving message from renderer"

Get rid of "Timed out receiving message from renderer" Message Well, if you using selenium web driver to automate your web flows you must be really annoyed by now with the console log [SEVERE]: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 0.100 This not only gives us a false impression of some error happening during the run but also makes it difficult to go over the console logs. Luckily, we can make use of the silent output mode in chrome to get rid of these messages. To do so we need to set the silentOutput parameter to true in System property as follows. System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.silentOutput", "true"); and voila...no more annoying timeout message.   If you don't want to use setting the system property way for any reason, there is another way for you to achieve this. You can make use of ChromeDriverService builder to build it with " withSilent " set to true in the code as below.   ChromeDriverService.Builder bu...

Selenium - How to initialize Chrome and Firefox WebDriver

-
Selenium - How to initialize Chrome and Firefox WebDriver: What is WebDriver: Its important we understand what is WebDriver, before jumping to use it to initialize the browsers. WebDriver API was introduced with Selenium 2.0 and was the primary feature of it. WebDriver is designed to provide a simpler, more concise programming interface, overcome the limitations of Selenium RC (such as Single Host origin policy) and provide better support for modern advanced web applications. It was developed to better support dynamic web pages where elements of a page may change without the page itself being reloaded.  The way Selenium RC worked was injecting javascript functions into the browser when the browser was loaded and then used its javascript to execute the commands in the browser. WebDriver makes direct calls to the browser and drives the browser directly using the browser’s built in support for automation One of the most common interview question is whethe...
