• Key Concepts: 
  Git branch is a feature of the version control system Git. It allows developers to create multiple versions of a project, each stored in its own branch. This allows developers to work on different versions of the project simultaneously without affecting the main version. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Git branch, developers must first create a repository in Git. This is done by running the command “git init” in the terminal. Once the repository is created, developers can create branches by running the command “git branch ”. This will create a new branch with the specified name. Developers can then switch between branches by running the command “git checkout ”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating branches, it is important to give them meaningful names that describe what changes are being made in that branch. This will make it easier for other developers to understand what changes have been made and why. It is also important to keep track of which branch you are currently working on, as this will help you avoid making changes to the wrong branch.
