Learn Git branches with hands-on branch practice
Practice Git branching visually. Create branches, switch between them, and understand how isolated work turns into clean merges.
Branching flow
Start branch challenge
01
Create a dev branch
Start from master and create a safe place for ongoing work.
02
Open a feature branch
Create a focused branch for one change and keep the history clean.
03
Merge back with context
Return to the target branch and merge while watching the graph update.
Practice switching between master, dev, and feature branches
See where every branch pointer moves after each commit

Git branch FAQ
- Why should I use branches?
- Branches let you work on a change without affecting the main line, which makes experiments and teamwork safer.
- What should I branch from?
- In simple workflows you usually branch from master or main. In team workflows you often branch from dev.
- Can I learn branching without a real repo?
- Yes. The visual graph is useful precisely because it shows what Git is doing before you try it on production code.
- Can I practice git branching online without installing Git?
- Yes. Game4Git runs entirely in the browser. Practice git branch commands, create and merge branches visually — no installation needed.
