How to save credentials in Git?


When we pull or push in repository using git bash or command line it asks us for user name & password every time.This seems very irritating to input it every time. To avoid this we can save our credentials in Git using below steps.

1: Give  below command
$ git config credential.helper store
2:Now use command git pull
3: You will see that Git will ask you for entering user name & password. Provide username & password. Same user name & password will be saved inside git.
4: Again try git pull & you will notice that it will not prompt you for user name & password. It will use the credentials which we have saved in step 3.
5: Git stores credentials in text file named .git-credentials inside C:\Users\your-window-user

AEM Scheduler is a service which is used to schedule jobs in AEM Application. We can write a scheduler service in AEM by two different ways. 1:- Using Scheduler API 2:- Using Whiteboard Pattern We can create our scheduler class using SCR Annotaions or using New OSGi R6 Annotaions. From AEM 6.2 SCR Annotations are deprecated now.So we will only use OSGi Annotaions to create our scheduler. Writing scheduler class using Whiteboard Pattern:- In this case we will use the normal Java thread API to schedule a job. In example below we are scheduling a job for every 2 seconds. We have given cron expression as */2 * * * * ?. We can take help of  http://www.cronmaker.com/  to create your cron expression easily. package com.adobe.aem.saurabhaem.core.schedulers; import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Activate; import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component; import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.AttributeDefinition; import org.osgi.ser

Event Handling in AEM

-
There are multiple ways of handling events in AEM. All the methods have their own pros &cons. 1:- JCR Level Event Handling Using Event Listener 2:- Sling Level using Event Handlers 3:  Workflows & Launchers 4:- Using Scheduler Service Handling  JCR Level Event u sing Event Listener:- This is the lowest level event handling which listens to below JCR level events When a node was added When a node was moved When a node was deleted When a property was added to a node When a property was changed When a property was deleted We can write a custom  handler to handle these  events by implementing  javax.jcr.observation. EventListener   interface & registering an event using ObservationManager object. ObservationManager allows for the registration and deregistration of event listeners.It has methods like :- 1:- addEventListener(EventListener listener, int eventTypes, java.lang.String absPath, boolean isDeep, java.lang.String[] uuid, java.lang.String[] node
