What is a Branch?

A branch is an independent line of development in Git. You can create branches for:

  • Experimenting with new features
  • Fixing production issues
  • Testing different implementations
# Show all branches
$ git branch

# Create a new branch
$ git branch feature/new-ui

# Switch to a branch
$ git checkout feature/new-ui

# Create and switch in one step
$ git checkout -b feature/auth-system
