Hi Cecelia,
thank you for your post, this was very helpful for me as a first-timer.

Once I have gone through the full cycle, and the pull request is out of the door, what is the recommended best practice for cleaning up local stuff, keeping a forked repo on GitHub, etc.?

Thanks,
Bert

Good question! I don’t usually clean things up after, but posted on Twitter to get some feedback on best practices. I’ll follow up with additional info!

Deleting feature branches upstream (in the remote repository you forked) and any artifacts created in CI/CD was recommended. Generally trying to keep the shared areas clean like GitHub but not worrying about local branches.
