Use branches to seperate different features and code.
git branch #Check current branch and list of branches
git branch newBranchName #Creates new branch from current one
git branch -d branchName #Deletes branch
Checkout branches to switch current work in directory to branch.
git checkout branchName #Switch branches to branchName

Merge two branches.
git merge otherBranch #Merges other branch to current one
