Set up the push, PR and merge flow.
Team collaboration with pull requests
In a pull request workflow, the developer first pushes the feature branch to the remote repository. Then a PR targeting the main branch is opened on GitHub, and the developer waits for team review. Approved changes are merged into the main branch, completing development in a controlled way.
git push -u origin feature/api
# Open a PR on GitHub
# Review and approval
git switch main
git merge feature/apiPractice Push the PR branch and switch to main
Push the feature/dashboard-api branch to origin with an upstream relationship. Then switch to the main branch. Write the two commands in order.

Practice Merge approved PR changes
The PR review is complete and the feature/dashboard-api branch has been approved. While on main, merge the feature branch. Then safely delete the local feature/dashboard-api branch.
