What are branches?

Branches allow you to work on different versions of a project simultaneously. This is useful for new features or bug fixes.

Why use branches?

• Work on isolated features without affecting the main codebase.
• Test new changes before integrating them.

Execution:

• Task 3: Create a new branch and switch to it.

  
  git checkout -b feature-branch
  

  This creates and switches to a new branch called feature-branch.

• Task 4: Merge a branch into the main branch.

  
  git checkout main
  git merge feature-branch
  
  

  This merges the feature-branch into the main branch.
