•                 feature/shopping-cart

    2. Bugfix Branches:

        Bugfix branches are used to fix bugs or issues in the application. A common convention for                    naming bugfix branches is bugfix/branch-name.

        Examples:

•             bugfix/login-crash

    6. Main/Branch Name:

        The main branch of the repository often carries names like main, master, mainline, or trunk. This            branch typically represents the latest stable version of the code.
