Few months ago I wrote a REST API service with Go and the Gin Web Framework that performs basic CRUD operations on PostgreSQL database. I was using it through curl and Postman but I wanted the freedom to call the API from every device and location. So, I needed a web page to make HTTP requests from a smartphone as well and a machine running 24/7.
For the Microsoft Azure Trial Hackathon on DEV I created a web application to basically perform CRUD operations on a Azure SQL Database. The source code is hosted on GitHub and I decided to use GitHub Actions to create a CICD pipeline.
Very often happens that I start versioning some software locally and I push it remotely later :octocat:. When I decide it is the moment to keep the code safe and sound on Github, the procedure to merge a local-only repository to a fresh remote repository is not straight forward.
I was implementing a template function inside a class. As usual, I wrote the prototype in .h file and the definition in a .cpp file. This templated method is then called in other part of the software. When I hit the compile button, the compiler complained about an undefined reference where I called the template function.
