Working on a new feature or release
Now, suppose you are going to work on a new feature or a release, and for that, you want to create a feature branch. In the current workspace, you can do that by clicking on Source control and then clicking on Checkout new branch, as shown in Figure 10.6:
Figure 10.6 – Managing source control in workspace
Specify the name of the branch and click on Checkout branch, as shown in Figure 10.7. This will create a new branch from your main branch as the source and connect your workspace to the newly created branch:
