Why is branching used in coding?
Branching is used in version control and software management to maintain stability while isolated changes are made to code. Branching facilitates the development of bug fixes, the addition of new capabilities and the integration of new versions after they have been tested in isolation.
When should you branch code?
You should branch whenever you cannot pursue and record two development efforts in one branch. (without having an horribly complicated history to maintain). A branch can be useful even if you are the only one working on the source code, of if you are many.
