git-flow: Finish development on a feature branch, merging it into the `develop` branch and deleting it.
$ git flow feature finish ${feature}
try on your machine

This command is used in the Git Flow workflow to finish a feature branch that has been developed and merged into the main branch.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • git flow refers to the Git Flow extension which is a branching model and set of commands for Git.
  • feature finish is a specific command within the Git Flow extension to finish a feature branch.
  • ${feature} is a placeholder representing the name of the feature branch that you want to finish. You need to replace it with the actual name of the feature branch.

When you run this command with the name of the feature branch, it performs the following steps:

  1. It merges the changes from the feature branch into the main branch (usually called develop branch in Git Flow).
  2. It removes the local feature branch from your Git repository.
  3. It deletes the remote feature branch if it exists on the remote repository.

Overall, this command helps you complete and integrate the changes done in a feature branch into the main codebase.
