Should I Branch or Fork?

[rpottsoh]

@jdantonio trying to school myself on git. I have managed to create a branch, Dead-End, and would like to remove the branch.

My goal was to commit a practice file to my folder in Master; success. Next was to create a branch (perhaps I should have forked, instead of branching) and to modify the practice file that is in Dead-End and commit the changes back to Dead-End; success. Now I have decided the changes I have made to the practice file in Dead-End need to be thrown away. I am trying to get rid of Dead-End to accomplish this.... Don't see how to accomplish this. Primary goal here is to not make any changes to the practice file I committed to Master; success (so far). If the solution is simple, fine. Otherwise if it is a little more involved perhaps this could be dealt with next week during the install-fest.

@rpottsoh Branch

Because you have been added as a contributor there is no need to fork. That will just complicate things.

To delete a branch, use the command git branch -D <branch-name>. In this case, that would be git branch -D Dead-End.

Simple enough. Thanks
