An approved feature branch for the city’s permit API has passed review; the team now needs those changes integrated into the main line. Which source-control operation does that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Merge is how the feature branch moves into the family photo—main. After review, merge stitches the approved work into the shared line everyone deploys from. It’s integration, not exile or log archiving.
Full Explanation
Merging integrates commits from one branch into another, typically bringing reviewed feature work into the main branch. Municipal delivery pipelines treat a successful merge to main as the signal that integrated code is ready for further CI/CD stages. Unrelated operational lockouts or log archiving are not substitutes for merge.
