NetDevOps Live Episode on Git:

Cisco DevNet Python Code Samples Repo (Code Exchange):

Hank's Fork of the Cisco DevNet Python Code Samples Repo:

#git #github #python

Git cheatsheet:
============

git clone
Copies a git repository from a "remote" (aka GitHub) to your
local workstation

git status
Looks at the current status (obviously). Includes new and changed files,
and if you are "ahead" of upstream.

git add file or directory
"adds" changes or new files to "stage" and ready to be committed (aka locked)

git commit -m message
"Locks in" a change to the repository locally.

git push
Sends (aka push) changes from your local workstation to the remote

git pull
Retrieves (aka pull) changes from remote to local.

git diff
Look at changes between current file, and last "committed" version.

Mr. Bombal is one of my strongest pillar I lean on when it comes to computer networking. Keep the blessing flowing on my skills.

Hello David.. Your videos are one of a kind… easy to understand and at the same time very informative.

This is really good stuff! This is the type of networking videos you learn or you learn, I call it Bombal Style, fat-free, zero bull$#$, pure lean demo. Big thanks to Preston from Cisco, great demo, keep doing this type of videos, Bombal Style always teach something you get right away, enough of marketing type of videos, where people talk, talk, and talk, saying marvelous things about something without demoing it. Thank you so very much to both of you gentleman. Once I get that level of understanding in my combined technologies I will definitely demo Bombal Style too!

Great video. I just wrote down those git commands for future use, thanks David and Hank.

I was taking Hanks courses on devnet cisco and I didn’t quite understand the examples he hung up on github.

I hope to resume the cisco devnet courses once my workload as Network engineer decreases

Looking forward to your content on 'the safe ways of storing keys/passwords for the scripts' with Hank grateful.. thanks..

[MahmoudFHALHejazi]

Looking forward for more network automation with GUI tutorial, regards

[janpoulsen]

Great stuff that's very usefull.
You mentioned that Netmiko does the boilerplate "conf t" implicitly. Does it also save the config after making the changes ?

[GerardoMarciales]

Great, and thanks for sharing About the Atom integration.

Saludos.

Hi David, thanks for the video.
I have a question 🙋 if I am not good enough in mathematics(and englisch) 😁 can I learn networking! Thanks

So, as someone new to devnet, is GitHub something I will be uploading to or just downloading content? I don't see anybody interested in anything I have to code at the moment. And at what time does it make sense to have your own space on GitHub to upload?
