The most basic form of machine learning you can do is a Simple Linear Regression. Remember in an earlier post, I mentioned that Supervised Learning is a form of machine learning in which we utilize training data to teach our algorithm to derive a function that can make predictions on new data. SLR is a […]

Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that applies mathematical models and statistical methods to teach computers to make decisions towards achieving a goal. The term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (or AI for short) is used to indicate some resemblance to human intelligence being exhibited by computers or machines. AI systems exhibit behaviour that mimics human […]

Often times, multiple branches exist in a project and incorporate divergent changes. There is always need to combine these changes in a process that results in a (new or existing) branch that includes changes across the different branches. In the world of git, there are two primary routes you can take when combining changes: Merging […]

To recap, a Git commit allow us save a snapshot of our project at a specific point in time. The snapshot makes it possible to retrieve the state of the project at a later time. Git starts to get interesting when you’re collaborating with other developers on a shared repository. First, you need to be […]
