When you do a "git commit", git updates the branch to point at the new commit you just created. In this way, you can have a multitude of branches and be working on only one at a time. N.B. If you want to create a branch and "switch" (checkout) to it at once, you can pass the "-b" option to checkout, thus: "git checkout -b new-branch-name"; this will create a new branch named "new-branch-name" and immediately switch to it.
