of files and folders video exploring a repository what is a branch a branch is a parallel version of your repository by default your repository has one branch named main and it is considered to be the definitive branch you can create additional branches off of main in your repository you can use branches to have different versions of a project at one time on additional branches you can make edits without impacting the main version branches allow you to separate your work from the main branch in other words everyone s work is safe while you contribute video branches what is a profile readme a

that you ve created a commit it s time to share your proposed change through a pull request what is a pull request collaboration happens on a pull request the pull request shows the changes in your branch to other people this pull request is going to keep the changes you just made on your branch and propose applying them to the main branch video introduction to pull requests ️ activity create a pull request you may have noticed after your commit that a message displayed indicating your recent push to your branch and providing a button that says compare pull request if you want feel free to click compare pull request and then skip to step 6 below if you don t click the button the instructions below walk you through manually setting up the pull request click on the pull requests tab in

request add my first file the next field helps you provide a description of the changes you made feel free to add a description of what you ve accomplished so far as a reminder you have created a branch created a file and made a commit click create pull request move on to step 4 note like before you can wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page the one you re following instructions from and

you might see on your pull request after the action finishes running step 4 merge your pull request nicely done friend you successfully created a pull request you can now merge your pull request what is a merge a merge adds the changes in your pull request and branch into the main branch video understanding the github flow as noted in the previous step you may have seen evidence of an action running which automatically progresses your instructions to the next step you ll have to wait for it to finish before you can merge your pull request it will be ready when the merge pull request button is green ️ activity merge the pull request click merge pull request click confirm merge once your branch has been merged you don t need it anymore to delete this branch click delete branch
