The term describes a practice in which teams organize work around short-lived branches that map to specific features.
In practice, a featurebranchen starts when a developer creates a new branch from the main line with
Advantages include isolation of changes, smaller and more manageable diffs, safer experimentation, clearer code review, and
Challenges involve coordination overhead, merge conflicts, and complex release planning. Branch hygiene, naming conventions, and CI
Relation to other strategies: it is often contrasted with trunk-based development, which minimizes branches, and with
