Branching is a way to work on different version of a repository at one time. By default, your repository has one branch named main which is considered to be the definitive branch. We use branches to experiment and make edits before committing them to main.
When you create a branch off the main branch, you’re making a copy, or snapshot, of main as it was at that point in time. If someone else made changes to the main branch while you were working on your branch, you could pull in those updates.
To create a new branch, click on the Current Branch button on the top left of the screen and click on New Branch.
Give the branch a name and click Create Branch button.
Any change you made on the new branch will not affect the main branch.
To merge the branch to main branch, click on the Current Branch button on the top left of the screen and click on main branch.
Click on Choose a branch to merge into main button.
Click on the branch that you want to merge and click Create a merge commit button.
