Branching

When you're working on a project, you're going to have a bunch of different features or ideas in progress at any given time – some of which are ready to go, and others which are not. Branching exists to help you manage this workflow.

By creating a branch, you're basically creating an environment where you can try out new ideas.

Branches are normally used for:

• Fixing bugs
• Developing features
• Safely experimenting with new ideas

• Creating a Branch
• Switching to a Branch
• Deleting a Branch
