Now, let's create our release branch and name it release/0.1.0:
$ git checkout dev$ git checkout -b release/0.1.0
If this was a real scenario, we'd deploy the branch onto a staging server for it to be more thoroughly tested. For now, let's assume we have found a bug: the text for facebook and twitter inside social-login.txt should be capitalized to Facebook and Twitter. So, let's make that fix and commit it directly on the release branch:
$ git checkout release/0.1.0$ echo -e "Facebook\nTwitter" > social-login.txt$ git add -A && git commit -m "Fix typo in social-login.txt"
Now, we would test the revised code again, and assuming there are no more bugs, we can merge it into master:
$ git checkout master Switched to ...
