In this GitHub tutorial, I’ll show you how to use branches so you can safely experiment with new features without breaking your main project.
If you’ve watched my GitHub basics tutorial (part 1), you already know how to create commits and keep snapshots of your code. In this video, we’ll build on that foundation and take the next step: creating, switching, and merging branches.
By the end, you’ll know how to:
Create a new branch for testing features or experiments
Switch between branches in GitHub Desktop
Merge your changes back into the main branch safely
Handle conflicts when two branches change the same code
Keep your main project stable and error-free
This is the same workflow professional developers use, and I’ll break it down so it’s simple and beginner-friendly. Whether you’re just learning to code or building your first iOS app, branches will give you the confidence to try new ideas without worry.
