It give contributors the ability to work different features at the same time. Each branch represents an independent line of development, and once a feature or fix is complete, it can be merged back into the main branch. Here is a common branching structure used in many Git projects: - Main Branch - The main branch (a.k.a. master branch) is the default branch in a Git repository and contains the stable version of the code. - Development Branch - is created to develop a new feature or fix a bug without affecting the main branch. It isn’t necessarily always stable, but whenever it gets to a stable state, it can be merged into master. - Topic Branch - A topic branch is a short-lived branch that you create and use for a single particular feature or related work. - + ### Best Practices - Use descriptive commit messages. - Commit early and often. @@ -75,17 +74,17 @@ Depending on the size of the project and whether the project is closed- or open- **Centralized**: The project has only one central hub or *repository*, can accept code and everybody synchronizes their work with it.
