When to Avoid Using Git Rebase in Team Projects: A Guide

Select Language:

If you’re experiencing issues with a website like GitHub, such as not being able to perform certain actions, there’s a simple step you can try to fix it. Sometimes, the browser’s cache or cookies can cause glitches, and clearing them often resolves the problem.

Here’s what you should do:

First, locate your browser settings menu. Typically, this is in the upper right corner of your browser window, represented by three dots or lines. Click on it and find the options for ‘History’ or ‘Privacy and Security.’

Next, select the option to clear browsing data. You’ll usually have choices for what to clear, including cookies, cached images, and files. Make sure to select cookies and cache, as these are often responsible for website issues.

Set the time range to clear to ‘All time’ or the equivalent. This ensures all stored data is erased. Then, click the clear data button.

After clearing your cookies and cache, close your browser completely and reopen it. Visit the website again and see if the issue is resolved.

This action can refresh your browser’s data and often helps fix problems like being unable to perform actions, loading issues, or login errors. If the problem persists, you might want to try opening the site in a different browser or updating your current browser to the latest version.

Remember, clearing cookies and cache will log you out of most websites, so make sure you know your passwords beforehand. This simple step usually fixes many website issues without needing further technical help.
