This project utilizes a micro:bit V2 and Kitronik Breakout Board to control an RGB LED with a common cathode. The code employs a timer to cycle through Red, Green, and Blue colors every 250 milliseconds. The required hardware includes a micro:bit V2, Kitronik Edge Connector Breakout Board, solderless breadboard, resistors, and jumper wires. Instructions guide users on connecting the components and identifying anode terminals on the RGB LED. Specific steps involve attaching resistors to the breadboard, connecting them to the LED, and linking the LED's anode terminals to the micro:bit. The project involves coding to assign LED colors to specific pins on the Kitronik Breakout Board. Connecting the micro:bit to a computer via USB, users flash the code onto the micro:bit using commands in the terminal. The project successfully demonstrates RGB LED control through micro:bit V2 and Kitronik Breakout Board.

This blog post is about errors using the rebase command and how to solve the errors. It tells the story of two developers, one of whom makes the mistake of using the "git rebase" command incorrectly which breaks the logical flow of the history or log of both developer's local and remote git repositories. It then provides a possible solution to this rebase error, with instructions and screenshots of how to reproduce this behavior.

In this bog post, we cover how to split a single commit into multiple commits using Git rebase. We emphasize that this skill is particularly useful when working on local changes that are challenging for teammates to comprehend under a single commit where a lot of work has been done.. An illustrative step-by-step guide is provided to demonstrate this process.

In this blog post, we cover the process of squashing commits using the interactive rebase feature of Git. Squashing commits allows for combining multiple commits into a single commit, streamlining commit history. We emphasize the caution and understanding required when using the rebase command, as it has the potential to rewrite commit history and cause confusion if misused. We provide a step-by-step example of squashing three commits, demonstrating the interactive rebase session and the necessary edits to condense the commits.

This blog post discusses the importance of understanding commit history and the potential risks of using the git rebase command. It emphasizes the need for caution and knowledge when working with the rebase command, as it can rewrite commit history and lead to data loss and confusion within a team. The post provides step-by-step examples of exploring commit history using git log, amending commit messages with git commit --amend, and reordering local commit history with interactive rebase (git rebase -i).

This post shows the concept of 'stashing' along with a basic step-by-step tutorial. Stashing is like saving a draft of your work to come back to later. Stashing is useful when you're in the middle of some changes but need to switch to another task before you're ready to finalize (or "commit") your current work.

This post presents a step-by-step example of creating and merging a branch in Git. It covers the concept of merge conflicts and provides an example of resolving conflicts manually by carefully selecting desired changes. Overall, the post emphasizes the significance of Git branches and offers guidance for effective branch management and merging in a team setting.
