Git: Branching

• Branch is an independent set of commits
• What makes Git so popular (it fits best to Agile and DevOps)
• Branch can be an abstraction for a line of development:
  • master (or main) is the first and default one, used to keep the stable and tested version of the project
  • develop is the place where features come together before merging to master
  • feature_X is a branch for a single feature "X"
• Branch can be temporary:
  • To have a change request
  • To develop an independent feature
