# 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:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone git@example.com:project-name.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Change directories so you are in the project directory.
|
|
1. Create a branch for your feature:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout -b feature_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Write code for the feature.
|
|
1. Add the code to the staging area and add a commit message for your changes:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git commit -am "My feature is ready"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Push your branch to GitLab:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git push origin feature_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Review your code: On the left sidebar, go to **Repository > Commits**.
|
|
1. [Create a merge request](../user/project/merge_requests/creating_merge_requests.md).
|
|
1. Your team lead reviews the code and merges it to the main branch.
