Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Merging

This video tutorial explains the process of merging branches in Git. It covers the concept of merging, demonstrates how to merge branches using code examples, and discusses the importance of branching and merging in collaborative development. The tutorial also addresses conflict resolution during merges and concludes with the process of pruning branches after merging.

What is the primary purpose of merging a branch in Git?

• To create a backup of the branch

• To delete unnecessary branches

• To integrate new functionality into the main branch

• To rename the branch

Which Git command is used to merge changes from one branch into another?

• git commit

• git checkout

• git branch

• git merge

Why is it important to work in isolated feature branches?

• To avoid conflicts in the main branch

• To increase the number of branches

• To make the repository larger

• To reduce the number of commits

What is a potential issue when multiple developers work on the main branch simultaneously?

• Increased code quality

• More branches

• Code conflicts

• Faster development

What should be done after merging a feature branch into the main branch?

• Create a new branch

• Prune or delete the feature branch

• Rename the main branch

• Revert the merge

What is the result of a successful merge in Git?

• The branch is renamed

• The changes are integrated into the target branch

• The repository is deleted

• A new branch is created

What is the purpose of the 'git log' command in the context of merging?

• To create a new branch

• To rename a branch

• To delete the last commit

• To view the history of commits
