𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.Often, when you’ve been working on part of your project, things are in a messy state and you want to switch branches for a bit to work on something else. The problem is, you don’t want to do a commit of half-done work just so you can get back to this point later. The answer to this issue is thegit stashcommand.Stashing takes the dirty state of your working directory — that is, your modified tracked files and staged changes — and saves it on a stack of unfinished changes that you can reapply at any time (even on a different branch).Join WhatsApp Group of .NET Developershttps://lnkd.in/dUXf4K_5Like👍 & Repost ♻️

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨We're all used to pressing F5 to run our solutions in Visual Studio. However, there's a potential gotcha! The default behavior with F5 is actually "𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐠". This means Visual Studio launches the debugger, which can significantly slow down the startup process.The faster alternative is "𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠" (known as "Run"). In Visual Studio, you can access this with the hollow Play icon on the toolbar or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F5.𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭?If you're a habitual F5 user, give Ctrl+F5 (hollow Play) a try with your main application. Let me know in the comments if you notice a difference in startup speed!Join WhatsApp Group of .NET Developershttps://lnkd.in/dUXf4K_5Like👍 & Repost ♻️

A .gitignore file tells Git which files to ignore (not track). This keeps your project clean by excluding unnecessary files and prevents accidental commits.

You can further customize it by adding patterns for specific files or folders you want to exclude.Join WhatsApp Group of .NET Developershttps://lnkd.in/dUXf4K_5Like👍 & Repost ♻️

𝟓 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐓𝐎𝐬1) Should not contain logic or behaviour.2) Should not enforce encapsulation. They don't need private/protected members.3) Should use properties not fields.4) Should only use "DTO" or "Dto" in their name as a last resort. Name them for how thy are used.5) These should be modelled as DTOs:- API request/response objects.- MVC viewmodel objects.- Database query result objects.- Messages (Commands, Events, Queries)Join WhatsApp Group of .NET Developershttps://lnkd.in/dUXf4K_5Like👍 & Repost ♻️

Multiple databases add complexity, and we should only introduce complexity if there is no other option. Don't create multiple databases just to look fancy.Join WhatsApp Group of .NET Developershttps://lnkd.in/dUXf4K_5Like👍 & Repost ♻️
