Introduction

In this post, I will show some basic git commands.

Commands

git commit

This one of the most important commands in git, it’s used to create a commit. Using it without any flags will open the text editor, making it easy to write a detailled description of the commit.

> git commit
# Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.
#
# Changes to be committed:
#       new file:   content/posts/quick-git-commands.md
#
This is the commit's message that explains the changes briefly

This is the commit's description that explains the changes it brings.
You can write on multiple lines what was done and why it was done.

> git log

git commit –amend

This one is useful whenever you realize you made a (small) mistake after creating a commit, it enables you to add staged files to the previous commit, but also enables you to simply modify the commit’s message/description. This modification replaces the old commit with a new one, so be careful.

Introduction

This article aims to be a short explanation of the three parts (header, payload, signature) of a JSON Web Token, how they are generated and validated.

Anatomy Overview

A JWT consists of three parts, each delimited by a “.” (dot) like the following:
header.payload.signature

Basic overview of the three parts

Header

The header of a JWT usually contains the signing algorithm that was used, the type of the token, in this case “JWT” and optionally, if signed, a “Key ID” (kid).

Introduction

After completing the initial setup of my blog, I wanted to add a social icon in the header/navbar. After some searching, I found this documentation on the Ananke theme’s wiki.

Why am I writing this post?

Even though there is a wiki page “explaining” how to configure social icons, I was still confused by it, so I’m writing this in case it might help someone else.

How it works

All samples in this documentation will refer to configuration in config/_default/params.toml and use the TOML format. If you have problems translating that into your configuration situation and format (JSON, YAML) please join us in the Discussion Forum.

Introduction

For the past few days, I’ve been working on a project where one of the features is authentication and authorization using OpenID Connect, and Keycloak is the service that was chosen to perform this role.

Today, I was trying to find some resources explaining how to use Keycloak properly, because I implemented everything and wanted to see if there were some improvements I could make. I came across this post after some research on google.
