Branch

A branch represents an independent

line of development.

• Branch is a ‘branch’ from the main code trunk to try a new feature

• Not just trying new features, branches can be used to see these new features’ compatibility with the main trunk of the code

• When a git repo is initialized, it creates the default branch ‘master’

• If compatible, branches can be merged into the master branch

Branching

Merging Branch

Merge Conflict

A merge conflict is an event that

occurs when Git is unable to

automatically resolve differences

in code between two commits

made in two different branches

during a merge.

 GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration. It lets you and others work together on projects from anywhere.
