We create them so that they can merge after finishing work on them. But, the fate of branches is to get merged. We create Branches to work separately on a feature without disturbing the main stable branch, also known as the master branch. Once you have gone through these prerequisites, you can go ahead and explore the following topics in this tutorial: But, there are a few things you should know before proceeding. This tutorial revolves around the same operation in Git. It is the part we perform before deleting the branches. We merge branch in Git with the master branch ( or any other branch) to depict that the feature addition is successful and ready for release. We do not leave the branches hanging once their work finishes. But can you recall why did we create the branches in the first place? Well, if you think that we create branches to work on different features at different times, you are correct. We learned the basics of branches, how to create them on our local repository, and tried a few operations on them, such as deleting the branches, checking them out, etc. In this section up till now, we have learned a lot about branches.
