# Feature branching
- Efficient parallel workflow for teams
- Develop each feature in a branch
- Keeps changes isolated
- Consider a 1-to-1 link to issues
- Push branches to the server frequently
- Hint: This is a cheap backup for your work-in-progress code

# Edit `bugs.rb`
git status
git add bugs.rb
