In this lesson, you will learn how to clean up your Git branches. After you've put your new feature into the main game, you don't always need the special branch you made for it. You will delete the 'feature/add-score-limit' branch to keep your project tidy. You will also get ready to tell someone about all the steps you took to add your new feature.

Before you delete the branch, let's check to make sure it's still there. You should see the 'feature/add-score-limit' branch in your list.

Run this command in your terminal:

git branch

What you should see:

✅ You should see 'feature/add-score-limit' in the list. This means it's ready to be cleaned up!

Now that your new feature is in the main game, you can delete the special branch you made for it. This helps keep your project neat and tidy.

Use this command to delete a branch. Here's an example of how to delete a branch called 'old-feature':

git branch -d old-feature

Make sure you are on the 'main' branch before you delete your 'feature/add-score-limit' branch.

You've deleted your branch! Now, let's check to make sure it's gone.

Run this command in your terminal:

git branch

What you should see:

✅ The 'feature/add-score-limit' branch should not be in the list anymore. This means you successfully cleaned up your branches!
