Why Create a Branch from Another Branch?

While the master branch serves as the primary branch for stable code, there are scenarios where creating a branch from another branch becomes necessary:

1. Parallel Development: When multiple developers are working on related features, they might create feature branches from a common development branch rather than directly from the master branch.
2. Code Isolation: Sometimes, you need to isolate changes in a separate branch to test or experiment with them before merging into the main codebase.

Branching in Git allows developers to work on isolated features or fixes without affecting the main codebase. However, what if you need to create a new branch based on the changes in another branch? That’s where the concept of branching from another branch comes into play. In this guide, we’ll see the process of creating a branch from another branch in Git.
