How to Create a New Branch in Git and Push the Code?
Branching in Git is a helpful feature for software developers working on a big team project. It allows the team members to work on different aspects of the software by creating a branch from the main branch. The main branch is not affected by the changes in the created branch until it is merged into the main branch. Once, work is complete for the branch, it can be merged into the main branch to incorporate the changes. It can be used for better management of files related to the software. It also helps us try or experiment with adding some new features to the code; if it works well, it can be merged with the main code in the main branch.
