Summary - Branch management

Combine branch commands to build a branch management flow.

Combine Branch Management Operations

In branch management, you first inspect existing branches, create a new branch when needed, and delete branches that are no longer required after the work is complete. These operations help keep project history organized.

git branch -a
git branch new-module
git branch -d old-module

Before deleting a branch, make sure it is not active and that its changes are preserved.

Exercise Create, List, and Delete Branches

Create a new branch named performance. List local and remote branches together. Then delete the merged old-interface branch that is no longer needed. Finally, print a message confirming completion.

git branch performans
