What is "Branches"?
The Branches metric represents the number of active branches in a repository. A branch is a separate version of the codebase that allows for experimentation and development without affecting the main codebase. A high number of branches indicates active development and collaboration, but too many branches can also indicate a lack of organization and maintenance. This metric can help developers and managers track progress, manage conflicts, and improve workflow.
Example: Monitoring the number of branches across a company's repositories to identify which projects are actively being developed and which may need more attention.
