What is a branch in Git
In Git, a branch is like a separate workspace where you can make changes and try new ideas without affecting the main project. Think of it as a "parallel universe" for your code.
Why use branches?
- Branches let you work on different parts of a project, like new features or bug fixes, without interfering with the main branch.
- It allows to have experiments in isolation without interfering with the main codebase. Each branch represents a separate line of development, enabling parallel work on different features simultaneously.
- A well-defined branching strategy helps maintain code quality.
