Branches are ways to isolate development work without affecting other branches in the repository.
Every repository (repo) has at least 1 default branch.
Conventionally, branches allow:
- Development of Features
- Bug Fixes
- Environment for Experimenting of new ideas, safely
To create a new branch
git branch <BranchName>
To switch into a different branch
git checkout <BranchName>
To create and switch to branch
git checkout -b <BranchName>
