What is Branch?
An independent line of development that lets you work on features without affecting the main code
Why It Matters
Branches let multiple features be developed simultaneously without interfering with each other
Real-World Example
Creating a 'feature/user-profiles' branch to build profiles without affecting the main site
“Understanding terms like Branch matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
