What is Git Branching?
Expect to use Git as a version-control system, it is used to collaborate on a project. So, whoever wants to work on a project, they create a new/separate version of the main repository.
Branches help you to work on the project or a part of the project without even impacting the main branch of the project. When the work is completed, you can merge your branch with the main branch.

To make a new branch:
$ git branch <name of the branch>To check all available branches:
$ git branchWe can switch from one branch to another branch and work on that without impacting the branch we were working on before.
To switch to other branches:
$ git checkout <branch name>To make a new branch and directly switch to it:
$ git checkout -b <branch name>To delete a branch:
$ git checkout -d <branch name>To merge one branch to another branch, first, we need to switch to the branch with which we want to merge. Then we have to run the merge command with the branch name we were working on.
$ git merge <branch name>
