1. Creating Branch

   Why create Branch?

   • Easy to make an environment where you can try out new ideas.

2. Add Commit All the huge changes that are done after branch creation they get to be commits.

What do commits do? Its like keeping track of all your rough work when working on something till you get the results u want . This helps you to understand all the things you did to achieve your results .

Commit Awesomeness:

Each Commit has a message , the commit message describes why changes took place.

3. Open Pull request Coolest thing about PR

you can get direct feedback from a specific person or a team by simply using the GIT HUB's @mention system in your PR message.

4. Discuss and review Code So here your PR is being reviewed and discuss. you may receive questions about certain actions or comments .

5. Deploy This step its for final testing in production before merging to master branch.
