Branches are cheap!

Git branches don’t cost very much at all to create. Git is very efficient about the way it stores the data associated with the repository, and due to this, a branch is simply a commit with some special behaviors on it.

So use branches as much as you please, and don’t worry about having too many or running out of space.

Note that even though they’re cheap, it is still a good idea delete old branches once they’re merged into your mainline or some other branch. They are cheap, and there’s no reason to keep stale or unused branches around, simply because it will crowd your git branch list.
