Git branches are essential for organizing development tasks. To create a new branch, use the following command:
bash
git checkout -b feature/add-to-cart
This creates a new branch named feature/add-to-cart and switches to it.
Creating and Working on Feature Branches:
After making changes, stage and commit them using:
git add .
git commit -m "Implemented add to cart functionality"
To push the branch and changes to the remote repository:
git push origin feature/add-to-cart
Create a Pull Request from feature/add-to-cart to main on your Git hosting service.
Review and Merging Workflow:
Reviewers will provide feedback and approvals through the Pull Request interface.
Once approved, merge the branch into main using the merge button on the Pull Request page.
Post-Merge Actions:
Update your local main branch to reflect the merged changes:
git checkout main
git pull origin main
Optionally, delete the feature branch both locally and remotely:
git branch -d feature/add-to-cart
git push origin --delete feature/add-to-cart
Best Practices and Considerations:
Always sync your local repository with remote changes before creating a new branch.
Ensure your branch is up-to-date with the main branch to avoid conflicts during merging.
