explain branches #1022

How could the content be improved?

Hi, I read the content of the course, which I found very good! Nice job on that. But I found an omission (at least from what I could inspect) in explaining what branches are and how to use them. Is this on purpose? I think it is a very useful feature that git provides and that it should also be taught. I would be willing to develop some content for the course if there is interest.

Please let me know you opinion!

Hi, thanks for this. I am personally in favour of adding branches, however this is an issue that has been debated and is currently controversial. We can keep this issue open for further discussion.
