Complete Git Guide: Understand and Master Git and GitHub - Completing Rebasing by Performing Merging

The video tutorial covers the process of checking out the master branch and merging a feature branch into it using Git. It explains the concept of fast forward merge, where no new commits are made in the master branch after the feature branch is created. The tutorial also demonstrates how to view the commit history graphically using Git commands and mentions the use of the SourceTree application for a more readable format. The session concludes with a brief preview of the next lecture.

What is the first step in merging a feature branch into the master branch?

• Create a new branch

• Check out the master branch

• Push changes to the remote repository

• Delete the feature branch

Why does Git apply a fast-forward merge in this scenario?

• Because there are no new commits in the master branch

• Because the feature branch is outdated

• Because a three-way merge is required

• Because the master branch is behind the remote

What does the 'verbose' option do when merging branches?

• It speeds up the merge process

• It provides detailed output of the merge process

• It cancels the merge if conflicts are found

• It hides the merge details

What command can be used to see a graphical representation of the commit history?

• git branch

• git status

• git commit

• git log --graph

Which application is suggested for a more readable format of the commit history?

• GitHub Desktop

• Bitbucket

• SourceTree

• GitKraken
