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

Feature branching sample workflow

1. Create a new feature branch called 'squash_some_bugs'
2. Edit 'bugs.rb' and remove all the bugs.
3. Commit
4. Push

git checkout -b squash_some_bugs
# Edit `bugs.rb`
git status
git add bugs.rb
git commit -m 'Fix some buggy code'
git push origin squash_some_bugs
