Feature Branch

I’ve heard that feature branches are good things? How’s that

To be honest - no idea. Have never tried.

This is the way to create a new branch (from master)

$ git checkout -b feature-branch
Switched to a new branch 'feature-branch'
AMBWKS196:rinkkasatiainen.github.com akis$ git branch
* feature-branch
  master

Seeing your branches -> You can use gitk or SmartGit, or other tools.

Then doing some stuff on your branch. Commiting often. You can push a new branch also to master 1

$ git push -u origin feature-branch
