# Development Branch Workflow

## 🌟 Current Status
- **Main Branch**: Stable, working dashboard with TradingView analysis
- **Development Branch**: Safe space for experimentation and new features

## 🔄 Git Workflow

### Working on Features
```bash
# Always work on development branch
git checkout development

# Create feature branches if needed
git checkout -b feature/new-feature

# Make changes, commit frequently
git add .
git commit -m "feat: description of changes"

# Merge back to development when ready
git checkout development
git merge feature/new-feature
```

### Protecting Main Branch
```bash
# To switch back to stable version anytime:
git checkout main

# To bring stable features from development to main:
git checkout main
git merge development  # Only when development is stable
git push origin main
```
