branch

A branch is a version of a project or codebase that diverges from the main line, allowing you to develop new features, fix bugs, or make changes independently without affecting the primary version. It’s like creating a separate workspace or copy where you can experiment freely. Once your work is complete and tested, the branch can be merged back into the main version. This system helps teams collaborate efficiently, manage updates, and maintain stability in the core project while exploring new ideas or improvements simultaneously.
