Branching and Merging

Branching and merging are techniques used in version control systems to manage different versions of a project. Think of branching as creating a parallel copy of your work where you can experiment or develop features separately, without affecting the main project. Once your work in the branch is complete, merging allows you to integrate these changes back into the main project, combining the different versions seamlessly. This process helps teams collaborate efficiently, test new ideas without risk, and keep the project organized as it evolves.
