9 Create and Push changes to Branch
Git Basics: Creating Branches & Committing Changes to a Feature Branch
In this video, we go beyond commits and pushes to explore a common Git workflow used by most developers — creating and working on separate branches instead of directly editing the main (master) branch.
You’ll learn how to create a new branch for a specific feature (in this case, a divide function), switch to that branch, make changes, and commit them — all without affecting your main project or master branch. This is a must‑know skill for collaborating on larger projects.
