Summary  
This chapter explains how to create and switch to a new remote branch in a version control system and then upload a file to that branch.

General domain of usage  
Software development version control

Let's now simulate another common scenario where our colleague creates a **new branch** for developing a new feature, testing purposes, etc. We'll use another **TXT** file, which will be committed to our newly created branch:

Let's say our imaginary colleague's name is **John** and he is currently testing the **authentication service** used in our app. Using the GitHub interface, we will now create a new branch named `john/test` and switch to it:

Now, you have to make sure that you are on the `john/test` branch, and then you can **upload** the `authentication.txt` file directly to the repository in the same way as we showed in the previous chapter.

In a collaborative project, what is the purpose of creating a new branch like `john/test` before uploading a file such as `authentication.txt`?
