I know that I can programmatically create a user using the following code, in Drupal .

<?php

use Drupal\user\Entity\User;

// Create user object.
$user = User::create();

//Mandatory settings
$user->setPassword("password");
$user->enforceIsNew();
$user->setEmail("email");
$user->setUsername("username");
$user->addRole('role_name');
$user->set("field_machine_name", 'value');       
$user->save();

GitFlow is a branching model for Git, created by Vincent Driessen. It has attracted a lot of attention because it is very well suited to collaboration and scaling the development team.

But Sass wants to make your life easier. Rather than repeating the same selectors over and over again, you can write one style rules inside another. Sass will automatically combine the outer rule’s selector with the inner rule’s.

code sass

nav {
  ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style: none;
  }

  li { display: inline-block; }

  a {
    display: block;
    padding: 6px 12px;
    text-decoration: none;
  }
}

Nested rules are clever about handling selector lists (that is, comma-separated selectors). Each complex selector (the ones between the commas) is nested separately, and then they’re combined back into a selector list.

code sass

.alert, .warning {
  ul, p {
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
  }
}

code css

.alert ul, .alert p, .warning ul, .warning p {
  margin-right: 0;
  margin-left: 0;
  padding-bottom: 0;
}

We know Taxonomy is a powerful core module and helps us categorize the content. A vocabulary in Drupal is essentially a container for terms that are used by the system. These terms are what Drupal uses to connect certain areas together within the website.

How do I create a role programmatically in Drupal 8+

//your data array
$data = array('id' => 'client', 'label' => 'Client');
//creating your role
$role = \Drupal\user\Entity\Role::create($data);
//saving your role
$role->save();

In my case, I wanted to be able to auto-create multiple roles ("clients","managers","salesrep") to work with my custom module.

This is how I auto-create roles programmatically in Drupal.

In the Drupal administration section, each theme has its own settings page at admin/appearance/settings/themeName. This page has a form with standard settings like “Logo image settings” and “Shortcut icon settings.”

Drush is the command line shell and Unix scripting interface for Drupal. The most common way to install Drush is to install it on a per-project basis using Composer. We'll walk through the steps to do that, as well as how to set up the Drush Launcher tool (to make it possible to execute Drush commands without having to specify a full path to the executable).

Run composer require

composer require drush/drush

Once that's completed run the command ./vendor/bin/drush --version to verify it worked.

You can nest selectors that use combinators as well. You can put the combinator at the end of the outer selector, at the beginning of the inner selector, or even all on its own in between the two.

code sass

ul > {
  li {
    list-style-type: none;
  }
}

h2 {
  + p {
    border-top: 1px solid gray;
  }
}

p {
  ~ {
    span {
      opacity: 0.8;
    }
  }
}

Create patch or diff file from git repository and apply it to another different git repository

There are different ways to apply a Git patch. Let’s learn more about various Git Diff commands and how to create/apply a patch with the help of Git diff and Git apply. We will assume that you have already cloned/obtained a copy of the project in your local repository and have pulled the latest changes so you’re not working on an older version of the project. Take a look at some Github best practices here.
