What is the primary purpose of a pull request?

To review and discuss code changes before merging them into the target branch.

To delete a branch after it has been merged.

To automatically deploy code to production.

To create a backup of the repository.

A team uses a trunk-based development workflow. A developer has pushed a feature branch and opened a pull request. The CI pipeline runs tests, but one test fails intermittently. The developer wants to merge the pull request without waiting for a green CI. What is the best practice?

Rerun the CI pipeline until it passes.

Investigate the flaky test, fix it, and ensure the CI passes before merging.

Merge the pull request anyway, as the failure is intermittent.

Disable the flaky test in the CI pipeline.

A developer has a local branch that is behind the remote main branch. They want to integrate the latest main changes into their feature branch, but they also want to avoid creating a merge commit to keep the history linear. Which command should they use?

git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main

Which command creates an annotated tag?

git tag -a v1.0 -m "Release 1.0"
