Branching Strategies

Branching strategies refer to methods used in version control systems to manage changes in software development. They allow developers to create separate "branches" of code to work on new features, fix bugs, or experiment without affecting the main codebase. This ensures that different tasks can progress independently and be tested thoroughly. Once a branch is ready, it can be merged back into the main project, ensuring that only stable, reviewed changes are incorporated. Effective branching strategies help teams collaborate efficiently and maintain high-quality software while minimizing conflicts between different changes.
