Sometimes your local branch name isn’t the same as the remote branch you want to push to. This recently came up for me because I needed to push to a specific branch to trigger a deployment. Instead of the standard git push origin branch-name, it’s easy enough to specify the remote branch you want using…
If you accidentally add files to a commit, it’s easy to remove them through the cli. To remove one file: git reset imageidontwant.jpg To reset all added files. (You’ll have to re-add the files you actually want to add to the commit.) Simply type git reset That will unstage any files. It will…
Magento encrypts the sensitive information that it stores in the database. That’s great for security, but it means if you need information that only exists as encrypted in the database, it can be hard to get to. To get the data out of there, you need to have access to the file system that runs…

I spend a lot of time in magento development now a days, and because of that, I am constantly finding new extensions to help with my clients needs. I cam across something recently that was very cool to me. It’s an extension that allows a magento site to let people design and sell their own…
It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes I need to wipe all products from a magento database during development. Either an import was written slightly off, or it was just full of test data and it’s cleaner to wipe the products instead of deleting them through the admin. A simple script for this found in a…
