It demonstrates using GitHub Desktop to reset commits and synchronize local and remote branches. The tutorial also covers creating new feature branches, merging changes, and handling merge conflicts, recommending frequent merges to avoid conflicts.

What is the primary purpose of using feature branches in a development workflow?

• By creating a new repository

• By deleting the feature branch

• By using rebasing instead of merging

• The public branch will be reset

• The feature branch will be deleted

• There may be many merge conflicts

• The repository will be cloned

What is recommended to minimize merge conflicts in feature branches?

• Avoid merging any branches

• Use GitHub Desktop for all merges

• Merge public branches into feature branches frequently
