    Branch

    A separate line of changes in a repository, so you can work on something without touching the main version.

    branches

    Every pull request comes from a branch. Use a new branch for every change, so each pull request is about one thing. The branch a pull request goes into is its base branch, like dev for Home Assistant Core, or current for the documentation.
