Git branch FAQ

Why should I use branches?
Branches let you work on a change without affecting the main line, which makes experiments and teamwork safer.
What should I branch from?
In simple workflows you usually branch from master or main. In team workflows you often branch from dev.
Can I learn branching without a real repo?
Yes. The visual graph is useful precisely because it shows what Git is doing before you try it on production code.
Can I practice git branching online without installing Git?
Yes. Game4Git runs entirely in the browser. Practice git branch commands, create and merge branches visually — no installation needed.
