15.20 Checking out remote tags
⇒ clone the repo first via git clone, then you can list available
tags via git tag -l

⇒ checkout a specific tag via git checkout tags/<tagname>

Example:

git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.git &&


cd go-ethereum &&
git checkout tags/v1.0.2

15.21 git checkout --ours / --theirs in rebase
⇒ To rebase on the master run
git checkout feature && git rebase master

⇒ you can use git checkout --ours or git checkout --theirs

→ Note: Meaning of theirs/ours is flipped in rebase mode, i.e.


--theirs is referring to the feature branch
--ours is referring to the master branch

→ to continue the rebase if no changes are made to the


commit, use git rebase --skip

16.04 Working with python - how to develop code?
⇒ the python interpreter can be accessed using different ways.
Popular are

(1) interactive mode


entering python3 in bash starts python3 in REPL mode,
python3 -c "<some python3 code>"can be used to directly execute code
(2) file mode
save code in a file and execute via python3 code.py or ./code.py with a
shebang line. There are also IDEs like pycharm to work with .py files
(3) notebooks
instead of the limited REPL, have a web interface to work like in Mathematica.
Popular are jupyter notebooks or zeppelin notebooks. Many vendors also have
commercial notebook offerings (IBM/Databricks/Cloudera/Google/MS/…). 10 / 59

16.06 python in file mode
echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env python3\nprint("hello world!")' > hw.py &&
python3 hw.py
execute file in python3
hello world

chmod +x hw.py && ./hw.py specifying a shebang line


allows execution via ./

python3 -c 'print("hello world!")'

-c option to specify python


program as string (works for
bash too)

16.06 Python IDEs
⇒ There are multiple IDEs
available for python3
development

- PyCharm (free for students


w. Github education pack)
- Spyder
- Visual Studio with Python
Tools for Visual Studio

16.07 Notebooks
⇒ Popular (especially amongst data
scientists) are notebooks

→ we'll be using jupyter notebooks

⇒ Install them via


pip3 install jupyter
(python package index)

⇒ start via jupyter notebook


(launches notebook webui)

*intall pip via instructions on http://pip.pypa.io or on Ubuntu via apt-get install python3-pip 14 / 59
