What's your branch's 'currency'...?

Git allows you to seamlessly create multiple branches and it is therefore important to know your current working branch; you cannot be everywhere every time, or are you omnipresent!!

Git knows the local branch you're currently on by keeping a special pointer called _'HEAD'. _In this case, you're still on master; the git branch command only created a new branch (_testing _in this case) - it never switched to that branch.

       _**HEAD file pointing to the branch you're on**_

The next page explains how to switch to an existing branch.
