Setting up the environment

Git Version control and branching strategy

Version control allows you to keep track of any file changes and identify differences in your code. It is a handy tool while working in a team. But it can become chaotic very quickly if everyone starts committing changes to the master branch. Thus, there should be specific branches defined for different purposes. A straightforward convention is to have three branches :

• **master: **The production-ready code goes here.
• **develop: **The code on which final tests are done before merging to master branch
• **feature-specific branch: **These are the branches with the name of the feature that is currently being worked on
