I'm learning Git and reading the Pro Git book. The term "branch tip" is used sometimes in the book and also here on Stack Overflow, but I can't find the meaning of it.

In Git, "master" is a naming convention for a branch. After cloning (downloading) a project from a remote server, the resulting local repository has a single local branch: the so-called "master" branch. This means that "master" can be seen as a repository's "default" branch.
On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Above the list of files, click Branches. Scroll to the branch that you want to delete, then click . If you try to delete a branch that is associated with at least one open pull request, you must confirm that you intend to close the pull request(s).
The command to delete a local git branch can take one of two forms: git branch –delete old-branch. git branch -d old-branch.
A branch tip is the last commit or most recent commit on a branch. Basically it points to the most up to date code in the branch.
