GIT Branch Creation
Overview
Developers can create a branch to work on a new version of an existing application. Changes in the primary or other branches will only affect your branch if you pull the latest changes from those branches.
Creating a new branch for each task is a common practice because it allows others to identify what changes to expect and, for backtracking purposes, to understand why a particular code change is implemented.
