Project Overview

Time for a realistic feature-branch workflow. The project is a tiny todo list with two files: todo.txt (the list) and readme.md (the docs).

Across this chapter you will:

1. Set up the repo with a clean initial commit on main.
2. Create a add-task branch and add a new todo item there.

3. Update the readme.md on main independently.
4. Merge the feature branch into main.
5. Verify the final state.

This is the same shape as a typical pull-request workflow on GitHub, just without the network round-trip.
