Feature branch workflow (FREE)

To merge changes from a local branch to a feature branch, follow this workflow.

1. Clone the project if you haven't already:

   git clone git@example.com:project-name.git
   

2. Change directories so you are in the project directory.

3. Create a branch for your feature:

   git checkout -b feature_name
   

4. Write code for the feature.

5. Add the code to the staging area and add a commit message for your changes:

   git commit -am "My feature is ready"
   

6. Push your branch to GitLab:

   git push origin feature_name
   

7. Review your code: On the left sidebar, go to Repository > Commits.

8. Create a merge request.

9. Your team lead reviews the code and merges it to the main branch.
