The meaning of branch #22

Open movfel opened 6 years ago

I wonder what exactly the role that branch plays in github, and what would happen if I select a different branch when I work with the code

Hi @movfel,

Branches allow to have multiple working copies of the same code repository, and have different parts of the code be developed separately (usually by different software developers) at the same time. You can read about it more here.

We don't really use branches in this class, so we end using the main one, which is called master by default. Did you make additional branches that you can select?
