A few days ago I had to copy blobs from a storage account in one Azure tenant to another storage account in a different tenant. As a pragmatic approach for this task I used azcopy together with a SAS token.

SAS stands for Shared Access Signature, in simple terms, it is a temporary URL with limited permissions, so you can grant access to a storage resource without exposing the full account key. Using SAS can be useful when you just want to move data from one tenant to another without setting up a full identity and RBAC model for the job.

You want to rename a Git branch because of a typo or for any other reason? What if you already have pushed to the origin?

In this article we check the available Git commands to achieve these tasks.

Working with C# on a daily basis means you will run into compiler errors that can be frustrating, especially when the message isn’t immediately clear.

In this post, I’ve collected some of the most common C# errors I encountered in real-world development, along with practical fixes.

The matrix strategy in Azure DevOps pipelines allows you to run the same job multiple times using different variable-sets. Instead of creating separate jobs for each variable, you define a single job and a matrix of configurations, and the pipeline automatically creates one job for every combination.

Over time, branches accumulate, they get merged, abandoned, or deleted remotely but still present locally.

Short on time? Here’s the TL;DR:

git fetch --prune          # Sync + remove deleted remote branches
git branch -vv             # Find stale branches ([gone])
git branch -d branch_name  # Delete them safely
