Managing branches in your repository	Whenever you propose a change in Git, you [create a new branch](/articles/creating-and-deleting-branches-within-your-repository/). Branch management is an important part of the Git workflow. After some time, your list of branches may grow, so it's a good idea to delete merged or stale branches.	/articles/managing-branches-in-your-repository	fpt ghes ghae * * *	Repositories	/viewing-branches-in-your-repository /renaming-a-branch /changing-the-default-branch /deleting-and-restoring-branches-in-a-pull-request	Manage branches
