Lesson 11: SSH into AWS with VS Code (Plus Advanced Git Branch Tricks)

Welcome to Lesson 11 of DevOpsics! In this session, we are connecting our local development environment to the cloud and taking our Git skills to the next level. First, we set up a seamless workflow by using VS Code to SSH directly into an Ubuntu instance running on AWS. Once inside our cloud environment, we dive into advanced Git branch management. You will learn how to juggle commits across multiple branches, rename branches on the fly, and cleanly manage your development history. Finally, we look at how to use git reset --hard to completely destroy and erase the last commit when a deployment goes wrong. 🚀 Core concepts and workflows covered in this lesson: • Setting up the VS Code Remote - SSH extension • Connecting VS Code to an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance • Managing and switching commits across two distinct branches • Renaming existing Git branches locally • Using git reset --hard HEAD~1 to permanently delete the most recent commit If you are ready to master cloud infrastructure and Git as a science, make sure to subscribe and follow along with the DevOpsics playlist! #AWS #VSCode #Git #DevOps #Ubuntu #CloudComputing #DevOpsics
