One thing you might want to consider is tending the garden of your branches on the repository. So let's go over here,
0:08
we're in code and we can click on this little dropdown branch manager and save you
0:15
all branches. So we have our main default branch which is important and we have your branches. Some of these are finished up.

We don't need them anymore now. You might want to keep them for historical purposes, but oftentimes you might not want to,
0:31
this list over here along the side is going to get longer and longer and eventually
0:35
it's going to become just a tangled mess of yuck that you don't want to deal with. It's going to be completely out of control.

So for the feature branches and especially this is managed well with the pull request, which we'll get to is this thing is entirely done this one.
0:51
This should live on like what if there's a problem with version 11 and we need a version 12. We want to keep this here so that we can and not
1:00
throw away that work because it was never merged back, but this was merged back and we're done with it.
1:05
So the last thing I'm gonna do is I'm going to delete our feature branch because I don't need to see it anymore and I completely done with.
