For this chapter, which focuses on branching in GitHub and Git, you will need to do the following:

Install Git on your computer to handle version control tasks
Create a GitHub account to perform actions such as creating branches and submitting pull requests

Please refer to this book’s GitHub repository to find the code examples for this chapter: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/GitHub-for-Next-Generation-Coders/tree/main/Chapter%204. Make sure you clone the repository so that you have a local copy to work on. This is essential for practicing branching and merging. Also, organize your work by creating a folder in GitHub named ch4. This will help you manage different chapters separately.

This setup will allow you to effectively learn and apply branching strategies with GitHub, making your coding projects more manageable and collaborative.
