Get Really Good at Git

All about the JavaScript String properties and methods

The String object has one static method, String.fromCharCode(), which is used to create a string representation from a sequence of Unicode characters. Here we build a simple string using the ASCII codes

String.fromCodePoint(70, 108, 97, 118, 105, 111) //'Flavio'

You can also use octal or hexadecimal numbers:

String.fromCodePoint(0x46, 0154, parseInt(141, 8), 118, 105, 111) //'Flavio'

All the other methods described here are instance methods: methods that are run on a string type.

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
