Git Branch

New Branch is a different version of the Git project. It contains commits from master but also has commits that master does not have. 

1. Create a new branch
        git branch <branch_name>
2. Switch to the new branch:
        git checkout <branch_name>
        Once you switch branch, be now able to make commits on the branch that have no impact on master.
    You can continue your workflow, while master stays intact!
3. Switch back to master branch:
        git checkout master
4. Merge changes into master branch:
        git merge <branch_name>
5. Delete the new branch:

        git branch -d <branch_name>

Let's take a moment to review the main concepts and commands from the lesson before moving on.

• Git branching allows users to experiment with different versions of a project by checking out separate branches to work on.

The following commands are useful in the Git branch workflow.

• git branch: Lists all a Git project's branches.
• git branch branch_name: Creates a new branch.
• git checkout branch_name: Used to switch from one branch to another.
• git merge branch_name: Used to join file changes from one branch to another.
• git branch -d branch_name: Deletes the branch specified.
