Overview​

Create branches of your project to manage changes to your system efficiently, transparently, and collaboratively.

Your current branch is indicated at the center of the top navigation bar. Multiplayer automatically creates a “main” branch for each new project.

If you’re looking to make simple changes to your Platform’s system architecture, which everyone in your team can see immediately, you can do that directly in the “main” branch.

You should create a new branch when you want your team to:

  • Review and provide input on your plans before you implement them
  • Enable parallel development or experimentation of a new feature
  • Evolve or refactor portions of your system architecture
  • Fix a bug that will affect multiple components in your system architecture
