Git and GitHub Masterclass - The Practical Bootcamp - Introduction to Git Branches

The video tutorial explains the importance of using branches in Git, especially in team projects. It highlights the role of the main branch as the final code repository and the need for separate branches for feature development and bug fixes. The tutorial provides practical examples and discusses industry practices, emphasizing the benefits of multiple branches for collaboration and code management.

What is the primary role of the main branch in a project?

• To store the final version of the code

• To test new features

• To manage user data

• To hold experimental code

Why is it challenging to work directly on the main branch in a team?

• It requires more storage space

• It is slower to update

• It is not accessible to all team members

• It can lead to conflicts with multiple commits

What is the benefit of creating a separate branch for a new feature?

• It allows for testing without affecting the main branch

• It speeds up the development process

• It reduces the need for documentation

• It automatically merges changes

What is a common practice when a feature is completed on a separate branch?

• Delete the branch

• Merge it back to the main branch

• Archive the branch

• Create a new repository

In the context of Git, what does 'merging' refer to?

• Combining changes from one branch into another

• Reverting changes in a branch

• Deleting a branch

• Creating a new branch

How does using multiple branches benefit a team working on a project?

• It limits the number of developers

• It increases the speed of the main branch

• It reduces the number of bugs

• It allows for parallel development of features

Which of the following is an example of a project that uses multiple branches?

• A single-page application

• A small personal blog

• Facebook React

• A static HTML page
