🚀 Day 10: Git Branching

What is Git Branching?

Git branching lets you work on new features or fixes without affecting your main code. It’s like creating a copy of your project where you can experiment safely.

---

Why Use Branches?

• Keep main stable

• Work on multiple features at once

• Test ideas without risk

• Collaborate easily

---

Common Branch Types

1. main – Stable code

2. feature/ – New features

3. bugfix/ – Fixing issues

4. hotfix/ – Quick production fixes

---

Essential Commands

bashCopyEditgit branch           # list branches  
git checkout -b new-feature   # create + switch  
git add .  
git commit -m "message"  
git checkout main  
git merge new-feature  
git branch -d new-feature    # delete branch

---

Quick Example

bashCopyEditgit checkout -b login-form
# Make changes
git add . && git commit -m "Add login form"
git checkout main
git merge login-form

---

Best Practices

• Use clear names like feature/payment-page

• Commit often

• Delete branches after merging

• Use pull requests in teams
