Work on a feature branch

Working with git can be organized by creating a branch for each issue or feature.Git is designed for lightweight branching and merging. You can and should create as many branches as you’d like.

First, make sure your develop branch is up-to-date with Talawa upstream. (see how)

Next from your develop branch,create a new branch. We recommend naming your branch a descriptive name relating to your feature or issue.

$ git checkout develop
Switched to branch 'develop'
$ git checkout -b issue-178-docsissue
Switched to a new branch 'issue-178-docsissue'

Now you are ready to work on the issue or feature.
