Today in this article, we will see how to Highlight Bash, and shell code in Markdown Readme.md files, or wiki files for Git.

Today we will cover below aspects in this article,

We shall cover a few useful commands used for various CLI tools like,

• Shell
• Bash
• Powershell
• DOS

Command Pattern

Below is the general pattern for highlighting the code using the language of your choice,

```<Language>

///Your code here 

```

Shell – Using Console for bash/shell code in Markdown

Highlight Bash/shellcode in Markdown files using console commands can be done using below naming pattern,

Example

```console

thecodebuzz@DESKTOP-NUEMRRD:~$ sudo service redis-server restart
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
Starting redis-server: redis-server.



```

GitHub preview

Below is how the preview looks with syntax highlighter in GitHub,

Bash – Using Bash/shell command in Markdown

HighHighlight Bash/shellcode in Markdown files using bash/shell commands as below,

```sh

thecodebuzz@DESKTOP-NUEMRRD:~$ sudo service redis-server restart
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
Starting redis-server: redis-server.

```

OR

```bash

thecodebuzz@DESKTOP-NUEMRRD:~$ sudo service redis-server restart
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
Starting redis-server: redis-server.

```

Powershell – Using the Powershell command in Markdown

We can also Highlight Bash/shellcode in Markdown files using PowerShell commands as below,

```powershell

thecodebuzz@DESKTOP-NUEMRRD:~$ sudo service redis-server restart
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
Starting redis-server: redis-server.

```

Using DOS- Using Powershell command in Markdown

We can use DOS commands like dos, bat, cmd

Example

```bat

thecodebuzz@DESKTOP-NUEMRRD:~$ sudo service redis-server restart
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
Starting redis-server: redis-server.

```




```cmd

thecodebuzz@DESKTOP-NUEMRRD:~$ sudo service redis-server restart
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
Starting redis-server: redis-server.

```




```DOS

thecodebuzz@DESKTOP-NUEMRRD:~$ sudo service redis-server restart
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
Starting redis-server: redis-server.

```

That’s All,

Today in this article we will how to set up GitHub Security alerts on Vulnerabilities. The world of OpenSource solution and the common problem of vulnerabilities, both goes hand in hand.

GitHub has finally introduced a great new feature of discovering and notifying of new vulnerabilities.

Today in this article, we will cover below aspects,

GitHub will identify such a repository that uses vulnerable dependency and will send alerts to repository maintainer and also will provide an automated fix ( if opted).

Here is an example of a typical Security alerts notification will look like as below. This is one of my repositories which got fagged for the vulnerable node.js library.

How to Configure security alerts

Public Repository

Github will provide default alerts to all public repositories. So you get these features out of the box. Github will enable a scan of your dependencies and will update you for any vulnerabilities.

Private Repository

For GitHub private repositories security alerts can be enabled by using an opt-in feature.

You should explicitly enable this feature using the below options,

• Using the repository settings

Enabling Dependency graph

Setting Notification preferences

If you select Automated security fixes as ON, then GitHub will apply the security fixes and will send you pull request with fixes applied.

Notification alerts will list issues with severity details as below,

Once the dependency graph is enabled, Admin, teams, and individuals will start receiving security alerts in the dependency graph settings.

Automated Security Fix in GitHub

“Automated security fixes” option if opted will generate an automated fix for the vulnerable library.

Here below shows the fix that will be applied,

As shown below bot with the name “dependabot” will send you a pull request with suggested security fixes for your review.

The below suggestion is to upgrade loadash node.js library from version 4.17.11 to 4.17.14

Review the pull request and merge the changes.

Here are the code changes that will be applied. You shall be able to review these changes and changes will be merged into the target branch.

Finally, your repository will be remediated for the vulnerabilities without any hassle.

That’s All!!

Today in this article we will see How to Add JSON to Git Readme markup and style the JSON block.

Today in this article, we will cover below aspects,

JSON can be embedded in the markup readme file using multiple ways. Below we will see a few simple approaches to adding JSON to readme.md file

Add JSON to Git Readme

Syntax

```json

Your JSON here

```

Example

Below is a sample example,

```json

{

  "Customer": {
    "CustomerKeyurl": "http://customer-dev/key",
    "CustomerdetailsUrl": "http://customer-dev/id",
    "Agency": {
      "AgencyID": "subvalue1_from_json",
      "AccountKey": 200
    },
    "Agencies": [
      "Agency1",
      "Agency2",
      "Agency4",
      "Agency5",
      "Agency6"
    ]
  }
}

```

Below is how the final JSON looks like in the Git used with ADO, GitHub, or GitLab

Today in this article, we will cover below aspects,

Issue Description

git command line/CLI command gives below error,

‘git’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This issue I found to be due to not setting up the proper environment variable on a machine where you already have installed the GIT component.

You might get the GIT component installed on your computer either using an external download or using IDE tools with Visual studio or VS code or other IDE.

Please note that this behavior could occur differently if you are using other vendors services leveraging GIT exe (which is an open-source utility) like GitHub lab or BitBucket while installing such services are you were your desktop applications.

Resolution

On a Windows machine, you need to set up a GIT-related environment variable.

Please follow below high-level steps required for you to fix the issue.

• Install GIT CLI utility, if not done so already .

• Check the file path for GIT installtion

Usually, GIT exe will be available in the below location,

C:\Program Files\Git\bin

Or

C:\Program Files\Git\cmd

• Update System environment variable for any of the above paths,

Note: To make the variable effective, Please close any existing CMD or Bash shell window.

Alternatively,

If you are using GitHub tools like desktop or services then you may find the GIT exe below location.

Below is an Approximate path only,

C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_<id>/cmd 

You can set a similar above path as an environment variable to fix the issue.

Today in this article, we shall see how to Display Table in README.md file. We will also see how to format table content in block or align table text at the center or right or left of the table.

Tabular data representation is often a need for Application-specific technical documentation representing the capability of your API or application in the organization.

As we understood README file is a markup file that can be used to represent technical documentation or business documentation or architectural documentation as required

Today in this article, we will cover below aspects,

Readme.md file with markup codes lets you add all this content easily without any hassle.

Display Table in README.md

Let’s open readme.md file in edit mode within Git services like GitHub or Ado

Adding a table is easy using pipes and hyphens.

Please define your row and column as below,

| FirstName     | LastName      | City     |
| ------------- | ------------- | -------- |
| John          | Test1         | NewYork  |
| Bob           | Test2         | Toronto  |

Hyphens can be used to create each column’s header. Each column can be separated using pipes.

Generated Table as below,

Please note below,

• You need to add at least 3 hyphens to create each column properly.
• You don’t necessarily perfectly align columns and hyphens.
• You can format table as required in each column or row.

Formatting Table content in Bold in .md file

We can format Table content like table column name in bold or code block as below,

Display Table in README.md file in Git


| FirstName     | LastName      | City   
| ------------- | ------------- | --------    |
| `John`        | Test1         | `NewYork`   |
| `Bob`         | Test2         | `Toronto`   |

Generated table as below,

Not above we have used ” to make the field look bold.

Align Table Column names at Center,Left, or Right in .md file

Align Cell text to the center or right or left of a column by using colons : to the center-left, right sides of the hyphens within the header row.

Right align     ---:

Left align       :---

Center align    :---:

| FirstName     | LastName      | City  |
| :------------ |   :---:       | --------: |
| `John`        | Test1         | `NewYork`   |
| `Bob`         | Test2         | `Los Angeles`   |
