Git -For beignner (Tutorial) -- Part2

Git- Branching:
What is branching?
Branching is the way to work on different versions of a repository at one time.
By default your repository has one branch named master which is considered to be the definitive branch. We use branches to experiment and make edits before committing them to master.

To create a new branch

1.       Go to your new repository hello-world.
2.  [rprasad@vm git-repos]$ cd hello-world/
3.   
2.       Do the checkout
3.  [rprasad@vm hello-world]$ git checkout -b test
4.  Switched to a new branch 'test'
5.   
3.       Run git status, to check where you are:
4.  [rprasad@vm hello-world]$ git status
5.  # On branch test
6.  nothing to commit, working directory clean
7.   
4.       Check the branch details
5.  [rprasad@vm hello-world]$ git branch
6.    master
7.  * test
8.   
5.       Try, editing README,
6.  [rprasad@vm hello-world]$ vi README.md
7.  [rprasad@vm hello-world]$ cat README.md
8.  # hello-world
9.  Testing

#Branch testing
verifying changes

6.       Verify, with git status
[rprasad@vm hello-world]$ git status
# On branch test
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   README.md
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       .README.md.swp
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
