Branches, Commit, Pull Request, Merge in IntelliJ IDEA and GitHub: Example with Code

A hands on look at branching strategies in Git, GitHub, and IntelliJ Idea. In this video, I create a new branch from IntelliJ IDEA, make changes to that branch, return to master and make changes, return to the feature branch and merge master into the feature branch, add one more change to the feature branch, create a pull request from feature to master, merge into master, and then pull all changes locally.

Awesome, I'm very happy to hear this feedback!
GitHub and branches are very useful, in every size project.

[@yakainhell]

Very clear and concise explanation with a really good example. Specially on how to use IntelliJ with Git. Thank You. One thing I would have like to hear, that in practice you don't merge your own pull requests. Someone else will review it and then merge. If you could have mentioned that I think it would be helpful to a new comer.

[@discospiff]

Thanks! I appreciate this feedback.
I agree, you should not merge your own pull requests. They should be code reviewed first. I created a separate video where I talk about code reviews and GitHub, though it's a bit different than a typical code review process. ruclips.net/video/YbgGDitC9X0/видео.html
Thanks,
