Branching

Branching in Git allows developers to create independent lines of development, enabling them to work on multiple features or bug fixes simultaneously without affecting the main codebase.

• Create a branch

git branch <branch_name>

• Switch to a branch

git checkout <branch_name>

• Create and switch to a branch

git checkout -b <branch_name>

• List all branches

git branch

• Delete a branch

git branch -d <branch_name>

• Merge a branch into the active branch

git merge <branch_name>

• Merge a branch into a target branch

git merge <source_branch> <target_branch>

• Show all the commits in the current branch's history
