Branching

Branching is a process used in version control systems to create a separate path of development within a project. It allows developers to work on new features, fixes, or experiments independently without affecting the main project or codebase. Essentially, a branch is like a parallel version of the project where changes can be made safely. Once the work is complete and tested, the branch can be merged back into the main version. This approach promotes collaboration, flexibility, and organized development, enabling multiple tasks to progress concurrently without conflicts.
