“Cannot delete branch ‘login’ because you are checked out on it.” 🚀 If you’ve seen this error, this video is for you! **Beshilo Coding Academy** explains the rules of Git branch deletion and how to properly sync your project.
We also walk through a full feature-branch workflow—from creating a `register` page to pushing that specific branch to GitHub. This is essential for anyone wanting to keep their project structure clean and professional.
**What You’ll Master:**
✅ **Branch Deletion:** Why you must switch to the `main` branch before deleting others.
✅ **The Delete Command:** Using `git branch -d [name]` to remove local branches you no longer need.
✅ **Verification:** Using `git branch` to confirm your list is clean.
✅ **Feature Workflow:** Creating a new `register` branch and adding unique content.
✅ **Pushing Branches:** Using `git push` with the upstream suggestion to get your new branch onto GitHub.
