Splitting Code Up Into Branches

Part of writing code is properly managing your VCS. In my IP/ICMP project, I’ve been adding new folders each time I wanted to create a new version of the project. This is improper, and makes the code base larger than it needs to be. I split the code into branches to support each version.

There are a small number of steps to complete, in order.

  1. Checkout main
  2. Create a new branch
  3. Move and remove files
  4. Commit
  5. Push
  6. Repeat
bash 
git checkout main
git checkout -b v1
rm -rf c/v2/ c/v3/
mv c/v1/ip_stack_v1 c/
rm -rf c/v1/
git add .
git commit -S -m "refactor: isolate v1"
git push --set-upstream origin v1
# Restart
git checkout main
git checkout -b v2
rm -rf c/v1/ c/v3/
mv c/v2/ip_stack_v2 c/
rm -rf c/v2/
git add .
git commit -S -m "refactor: isolate v2"
git push --set-upstream origin v2
# Restart
git checkout main
git checkout -b v3
rm -rf c/v1/ c/v2/
mv c/v3/* c/
rm -rf c/v3/
git add .
git commit -S -m "refactor: isolate v3"
git push --set-upstream origin v3

mv c/v1/ip_stack_v1 c/
rm -rf c/v1/
git add .
git commit -S -m "refactor: isolate v1"
git push --set-upstream origin v1
# Restart
git checkout main
git checkout -b v2
rm -rf c/v1/ c/v3/
mv c/v2/ip_stack_v2 c/
rm -rf c/v2/
git add .
git commit -S -m "refactor: isolate v2"
git push --set-upstream origin v2
# Restart
git checkout main
git checkout -b v3
rm -rf c/v1/ c/v2/
mv c/v3/* c/
rm -rf c/v3/
git add .
git commit -S -m "refactor: isolate v3"
git push --set-upstream origin v3

Now, everything is nice and organized into branches for each version.

This is all the time I have for code today!
