Using Git branches ensures that changes made to code do not affect the stability of the main branch or other active branches, enabling isolated testing.
Git branches allow for streamlined collaboration, versioned project management, and smooth merging of updates after testing and approval.
The main branch is the default and can be considered the standard version of the code, representing the peak of the branching hierarchy.
To create a Git branch, use the git branch [newBranch] command, substituting newBranch with the desired branch name; verify using git branch.
To create and switch to a Git branch in one step, use the git checkout -b [newBranch] command, replacing newBranch with the desired branch name.
To create a branch from a specific commit, use the git branch [newBranch] [commitHash] command, substituting newBranch with the desired branch name and commitHash with the commit hash value.
