Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Merge the feature branch into the main branch
In Git, after developing a feature on a separate branch, the typical workflow is to merge that branch into the main branch (e.g., main or master). Merging combines the changes.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Commit the changes directly to the main branch
Why it's wrong here
That would bypass the feature branch workflow; usually, you merge instead.
- ✗
Delete the feature branch without merging
Why it's wrong here
That would lose the feature changes.
- ✓
Merge the feature branch into the main branch
Why this is correct
Correct. Merging integrates the feature branch changes into main.
- ✗
Push the branch to the remote repository
Why it's wrong here
Pushing is important for backup but does not integrate into main.
