Why would I create a branch?
There are really just two goals of branching: 1) isolation and 2) concurrency.
1. Isolation – You want a development branch to allow you to make changes to an application without breaking someone else’s development efforts and vice versa.
2. Concurrency – You want to be able to work on multiple features or bugs simultaneously. A development branch allows me to work on a new feature while still maintaining production with bug fixes to release branches.
