Step 4: Create a branch
Let’s complete the first step of the GitHub flow: creating a branch 📖.
Creating a branch
Creating a branch
You just learned how to create a branch—the first step in the GitHub flow.
Branches are an important part of the GitHub flow because they allow us to separate our work from the master
branch. In other words, everyone's work is safe while you contribute.
Tips for using branches
A single project can have hundreds of branches, each suggesting a new change to the master
branch.
The best way to keep branches organized with a team is to keep them concise and short-lived. In other words, a single branch should represent a single new feature or bug fix. This reduces confusion among contributors when branches are only active for a few days before they’re merged 📖 into the master
branch.
⌨️ Activity: Your first branch
- Download and open Visual Studio Code (referred to as VS Code) if you don't already have it.
- In VS Code, open the Command Palette using Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows, or Command ⌘+Shift+P on macOS. You can also follow VS Code's official documentation on cloning.
- Type:
git clone
and press Enter
- Paste in the URL of the repository in the new window and press Enter:
https://github.com/tongninh/github-slideshow.git
- Select the location in which to save the repository and click Choose folder. Then, open the location you selected.
- The repository folder should now be open in your VS Code project. Click on
master
at the bottom left of the VS Code window. This will bring up the Command Palette with the commands related to Git branches.
- Click Create new branch and enter any branch name you'd like, such as
my-slide
. Then press Enter. - When asked to select the ref to create the branch from, select
master
. - Go to the Source Control view, click on the ellipsis (...) and select Push. Confirm the dialog box asking you to publish the branch.
I'll respond when I detect a new branch has been created in this repository.
