GitHub introduced the concept of a Pull Request, which is essentially a managed merge with a large amount of additional metadata. Pull requests are key to a GitHub-based workflow, so you’ll discover how to use them in this video.
Thanks for the great session.
I was following the video guide about the deleting “status-update” branch by typing the “git branch -d status-update” like you did. It shows the same graph like yours. (no more staus-update branch is showing in the log graph).
For the next step to delete the remote branch “origin/status-update”, I typed “git remote prune origin” but doesn’t delete the “origin/status-update” in the log.
So I needed to type “git push origin --delete status-update” then it disappeared.
Hi @lucy0622
That sounds correct. To clarify git remote prune origin removes any local references to remote branches that you have. That’s not tracking branches, just the references.
Since the branch was remote, and you wanted to delete that, this command wouldn’t have had any effect. The one you used was the correct one.
Hope that helps

The syncing session was so confusing!!!
@jfortyork Please let us know what didn’t you understand exactly when you get a chance. Thank you!
I don’t seem to have the option to assign a reviewer. Before I actually create the request, when I’m entering the title and description, that column of reviewers. assignees, etc. doesn’t appear, and after I create it, it just says no reviews.
Hi @pdunlap739
Apologies for that. When i made the video i thought it would automatically appear, however, that doesn’t work for new collaborators on public repos.
Don’t worry tho—I got the notification and will take a look soon.
