Branch, then checkout

main has one commit already (app.txt, committed before you arrived). Sitting in the working directory, untracked, is feature.txt - the start of some new work that should NOT land on main directly.

Your task: create a branch called feature and switch onto it, then stage and commit feature.txt there with the exact message Add feature.txt. When you're done, main should still have only its original commit - feature should have one more.

You'll practice:

git checkout -b <name> - create a branch and switch onto it in one step
Keeping new work isolated on its own branch instead of committing to main
