13. Bonus: Render swapi.co data on the front end (time permitting)


13.1. “Stash” our previous edits

We need to configure Git to allow us to “stash” the changes we make so we can move from branch to branch.

Copy and paste the following commands in the Glitch console:

  1. Add fake user data to the git configuration and “stash” changes

    git config --global user.email "you@example.com" && git config --global user.name "Your Name" && git stash

13.2. Checkout branch 4

Let’s “checkout” the next stage of our front end application to get data from the new swapi API endpoint on our back end.

    git checkout 4

  2. Refresh the Glitch file system to see branch 4

    refresh
