How to Create a Remote Github repository

In this article, I will be listing down a few basic instructions to create a remote repository in git. Creating a remote Git repository is a two-step process. First, you need to create a remote repository on your Git hosting system (Github) and then you can push your local changes to it. Let us now take a look at these steps.

Creating a repository on Github

Step 1: Go to Github.com. Sign in/Sign up

Step 2: Click on the “+” sign in the top right and click New Repository:

Step 3: In the new repository page, enter the name (github-demo). Click on the checkbox to “Add a Readme” file. Add a description if required. Click on “Create Repository”:

Github New Repository

This creates a repository as follows:

 

Create a Local Repository

The next step is to create a local git repository. For this, you need to follow the steps given below.

Step 4: Open a command prompt/terminal window/git bash prompt

Step 5: Clone the newly created repository by running the following command (Replace <githubusername> with your own username):

git clone https://github.com/<githubusername>/github-demo.git

This command creates the github-demo directory on your local system.
Step 6: Add the necessary files to this directory. For the sake of simplicity, I will be adding just one file called Hello.txt  to the github-demo directory. However, you can add all your source code files.
Step 4: Add the newly added files to the local repository. Since I have just the Hello.txt, I will use the following command (after navigating to the github-demo directory):
git add Hello.txt
Step 7: Commit files to your local repository:
git commit -m "Initial commit"
Step 8: Push the changes to the remote repository:
git push origin main
In your browser window, refresh the page and verify that the newly added “Hello.txt” is shown on Github:
You can similarly add your code changes to this repository as required.

How to use logging in SpringBoot with code samples




















Image







In this article, we will learn how to use logging in SpringBoot. Introduction There are several Java logging frameworks like logback, log4j, and so on. Spring Boot supports out-of-the-box support for logback. Let us learn how to use logging in SpringBoot with logback. Step 1 – Create a New Maven Project Create a new Maven project. (Refer to  this  blog post). This will create a project in Eclipse as follows:   Step 2 – Add the Spring Boot Dependencies Add the spring-boot-starter-web  dependency to the pom.xml . So, the pom.xml  should look as follows: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>  <groupId>com.learnjava</groupId>  <artifactId>learnjava-springboot-logging-example</artifactId>  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&

Python While Loop with code samples





















Much like a Java while loop, you can use a Python while loop to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a condition is true. In this article, we will learn more about the Python while loop. Python While loop Syntax A while loop in Python has the following syntax: while <condition>:  loop body The while keyword is followed by a condition. If the condition evaluates to true, the body of the loop is executed. Once the body of the loop is completed, the condition is checked again and this is repeated until the condition evaluates to false at which point the loop is exited. While loop Sample Code The following code demonstrates how you can use the while loop: num=10counter=1total=0while counter<=num: total += counter counter+=1print("sum of first 10 numbers is",total) This code adds the numbers from 1 to 10 and prints the sum. It uses a while loop to iterate from 1 to 10. The while loop checks the condition counter <= num and if so adds the current value of count

How to convert a List to a Set





















In this blog post ,I will be showing you how you can convert a List to a Set. Consider the following code snippet: public class ListToSetDemo {public static void main(String[] args) {List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(5,3,11,15,9);//Method 1Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>(list);System.out.println("Set is "+set);//method 2Set<Integer> set2 = new HashSet<Integer>();set2.addAll(list);System.out.println("Set is "+set2);}} This code demonstrates two ways to convert a List to a Set. Method 1 Here, we are creating a new HashSet . We are invoking the constructor  that accepts a Collection object. Here, we are passing in the input list to this constructor.   Method 2 Here again, we are creating a new HashSet . However, we are using the default constructor. We are then invoking the addAll  method and passing in the input list.   When you run this code, it will print the following output: Set is [3, 5, 9, 11, 15]Set is [3, 5, 9, 11, 15] No
