anyway I feel like there's this intuitive definition of git branches like "a branch is a chain of development that contains commits that aren't on any other branch" that seems just as important as the technical "a branch is a reference to a commit" definition, even though it might be "wrong"
I guess I'm interested in what people's intuitive or "technically incorrect" definitions of a git branch are
