Questions about working with Git

Question

There are many guides in Git, but I have not seen many that explain how developers actually use it on a daily basis. I understand the basics of push, pull, commit, etc., but I don’t understand when to use branches.

In local repo:

• Should you create a new branch for each set of changes or work normally with the main branch?

• Should you create a new clone for each branch?

• When do you merge your local branches with the local master?

Thanks.

One of the most common usage patterns is to use "function branches" where you create separate functions in separate branches. Then you can have one or more integration branches (= releases) that you combine these functions.
