As you saw in this module's tutorial exercises, it is a good practice to create a new branch for every new feature and bug fix. As a software developer, you are usually assigned work to complete a specific feature or to fix a bug. In this discussion, you will complete your module readings and reflect upon effective practices within software development teams.

It is a recommended strategy to create a new branch for each and every new feature and bug fix. Reflect on why this is an effective approach in software development within a team. Why would you want to quickly merge these branches back into the main baseline of code? Finally, think about the role that the history function plays within version control. How does having a record of all past modifications help the developers on a team project?

In response to your peers, discuss an example of when you created a branch or used the history view for the Calculator app. Relate your work to how your peer discussed these specific actions. Are they similar or different, and in what ways?
