Git Branch

• Branch allows us to have parallel development in the same repository
• Create a new local repo (git init) and make first commit
  
• Branch to a git is a pointer to a commit id which is latest commit on the branch
  
• Lets create a new branch REL_v1.0 (Release for v1.0)
  
  
• Lets move to REL_v1.0 branch
  
  
• Now lets add a commit to REL_v1.0 branch
  
  
• Now lets move to master and look at history
  
  
• Now lets add a commit to master branch
  
  
• Once we have these branches there will be needs to bring changes from one branch to another. To acheive this we need to work with
  • merge
    • Three way merge
    • no fast forward merge
  • Rebase
  • cherry pick
• When we do any of the above, there might be cases leading to conflicts (merge conflicts)
