Create a new branch

Create a new branch for a repository using the web UI.

Branching helps create specific scopes for changes like features and fixes until they are ready to merge back into the main repository. They are crucial for minimizing conflicts in collaborative development processes.

Follow these steps to create a new branch in a repository on Protocol.Land:

1. Navigate to the main page of the repository you wish to add the new branch to.

2. Click on the Branch icon located above the list of files.
3. A modal will appear prompting you to fill the details for your new branch.
4. Type in the name for the new branch.

5. Click “Create”.

6. This creates a temporary branch in the repository. It is added on-chain only when files have been added or changed in this branch.
