This video tutorial explains how to delete branches in Git, focusing on both merged and unmerged branches.

What happens when you try to delete a branch that has not been merged?

• Git deletes it without any warning.

• Git automatically merges the branch before deleting.

• Git reminds you that the branch is unmerged.

• Git creates a backup of the branch.

Why is it safe to delete a branch that has been merged into the main branch?

• Because Git automatically saves a copy of the branch.

• Because the changes are already integrated into the main branch.

• Because the branch is locked after merging.

• Because the branch is no longer needed.

What command is used to delete a branch in Git?

• git branch -c

• git branch -a

• git branch -m

What does the 'D' option in 'git branch -D' signify?

• It deletes the branch without checking if it's merged.

• It displays the branch details.

• It duplicates the branch.

• It delays the deletion process.

What is a potential risk of deleting an unmerged branch?

• The branch will be archived.

• The branch will be automatically merged.
