When a recent code change does not appear where you expect it to, cache is often the first thing that comes to mind.
And sometimes cache really is the problem.
But before clearing everything, rebuilding the application, restarting containers, or digging into deployment settings, there is a much simpler check worth doing first:
Make sure you are actually running the code you think you are running.
Start with the repository
A few basic Git commands can quickly tell you what state your local repository is in:
bash
git status
git branch --show-current
git log -1 --oneline

It's a great reminder that the simplest checks can often resolve complex issues more efficiently! Your emphasis on verifying the actual code being executed before diving into more complicated debugging steps is practical advice that can save a lot of developer time. If you're considering enhancing this process further, perhaps integrating a CI/CD tool that provides immediate feedback on the deployed code could be beneficial. I'm open to exploring paid technical collaborations if you're looking for assistance in optimizing deployment workflows.
