Git Practice Lesson 4 of 9

Merging a branch back in

Same starting point as last time: main has one commit (app.txt), and feature.txt is sitting untracked in the working directory, waiting to become work done on a branch.

This time, don't stop at committing on the branch - bring that work back into main where it belongs.

Your task: branch off main into feature, commit feature.txt there with the exact message Add feature.txt, switch back to main, then merge feature into it. When you're done, main should contain feature.txt too.

You'll practice:

The full branch → commit → switch back → merge loop
git merge <branch> - folding another branch's commits into the one you're on

# Type one git command per line.
# Branch, commit on it, switch back to main, then merge.
