Branch and merge

Create a new branch and complete a merge flow into the main branch.

Develop on a New Branch

When developing a new feature, you can create a separate branch to preserve the current state of the main branch. git branch creates the branch, while git switch moves you to it.

git branch new-feature
git switch new-feature

This lets you develop changes separately from the main branch.

Exercise Switch to the Feature Branch

Create a new branch named report and switch to it. Then print a message confirming that the active branch is ready.

Show example solution

Exercise Merge the Feature Branch into Main

Show example solution

git switch main
git merge rapor
print("Rapor ana dala birleştirildi")
