Step 4: Create a branch

Let’s complete the first step of the GitHub flow: creating a branch :book:.

Creating a branch ## Creating a branch :tv: [Video: Branches](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgQmu81G1yY) You just learned how to create a branch—the first step in the GitHub flow. Branches are an important part of the GitHub flow because they allow us to separate our work from the `master` branch. In other words, everyone's work is safe while you contribute. ### Tips for using branches A single project can have hundreds of branches, each suggesting a new change to the `master` branch. The best way to keep branches organized with a team is to keep them concise and short-lived. In other words, a single branch should represent a single new feature or bug fix. This reduces confusion among contributors when branches are only active for a few days before they’re merged [:book:](https://help.github.com/articles/github-glossary/#merge) into the `master` branch.

:keyboard: Activity: Your first branch

  1. Navigate to the Code tab
  2. Click Branch: master in the drop-down
  3. In the field, enter a name for your branch, like my-slide
  4. Click Create branch: or press the Enter key to create your branch

I'll respond when I detect a new branch has been created in this repository.
