#git branching and merging practise

A branch is a series of commits

We can create a new branch using git branch "<name_of_branch>" The new branch's root commit will be master commit of the branch you've "branched off of"

To fetch or pull

git fetch -> getting all the commits from remote (github)

git merge -> merge commits from a branch into HEAD (branch)

git pull -> does a git fetch and a git merge after

To delete

git branch -D

To rename

git branch -m
