How do I use feature branches in GitHub flow?

Using feature branches in GitHub flow allows you to develop features in isolation. You create a new branch for each feature, make your changes, and then merge it back into the main branch when it's ready.

What are the steps to create a feature branch?

First, ensure you're on the main branch. Then, use the command git checkout -b feature-branch-name to create and switch to your new feature branch.

How do I merge my feature branch back into the main branch?

Once your feature is complete, switch back to the main branch using git checkout main, then use git merge feature-branch-name to merge your changes.

What if there are merge conflicts?

If there are merge conflicts, Git will notify you. You'll need to resolve the conflicts manually in the affected files, then add and commit the resolved files.
