Merge branches

First, checkout the branch you want to merge in, then run:

# Delete local branch forcefully
git branch -D devops-demo

Deletes the local branch called "my-devops-demo". Note that if the branch is not merged upstream, you need to force the deletion using the "-D" option instead of "-d"
