Create and delete branches

GitHub has introduced new features that allow users to create and delete branches directly from their website, enhancing the user experience by simplifying branch management. When creating a branch, users can type a new branch name in the repository’s branch selector, and the new branch will be created from the current context, whether it is a specific branch, commit, or tag. The platform also offers a delete button on the Branches page, and if a branch is associated with a Pull Request, a link to it is provided. Users can make small changes such as documentation edits directly in the browser without cloning the repository, and they can create branches, edit files, and send Pull Requests all within the web interface. Additionally, a feature has been added that allows users to restore a deleted branch, adding flexibility and convenience to branch management.
