+# Making a branch
+
+Here I will detail the instructions I am using to explore the branching functionality of Git while making a separate webpage for my CV.
+
+## Step 1: Create a New Branch
+
+Before making any changes, you'll want to create a new branch in your Git repository. This allows you to work on a new feature or change without affecting the main codebase.
+
+```git checkout -b feature/cv-page```
+
+This command creates a new branch named `feature/cv-page` and switches to it.
+
+## Step 2: Make Your Changes
+
+Now, on your new branch, you can make the necessary changes to create a separate page for your CV. Based on the previous instructions:
+
+1. Create `cv.html`: Create a new file named `cv.html` in your project directory and add the HTML structure to embed your CV PDF using an `<iframe>`.
+2. Update `index.html`: Modify the `index.html` file to link to `cv.html` instead of directly linking to the PDF file.
+
+## Step 3: Commit Your Changes
+
+After making the changes, you'll need to commit them to your branch. First, add the changes to the staging area:
+
+```git add cv.html index.html```
+
+Then, commit the changes:
+
+```git commit -m "Create separate CV page and update link in index.html"```
+
+## Step 4: Push the Branch to Remote
+
+To share your new branch with others or to create a pull request, you'll need to push the branch to the remote repository:
+
+```git push origin feature/cv-page```
+
+## Step 5: Create a Pull Request
+
+* Go to your repository on GitHub.
+* You'll likely see a prompt to create a pull request for your newly pushed branch. Click on "Compare & pull request".
+* Fill in the details of your pull request and submit it.
+
+This process allows others to review your changes before they are merged into the main branch, facilitating collaboration and code review.
+
+## Step 6: Merge the Pull Request
+
+Once your pull request has been reviewed and approved, you can merge it into the main branch. This can typically be done directly on GitHub's interface.
+
+## Step 7: Pull Changes to Your Local Main Branch
+
+After merging, make sure to update your local main branch:
+
+```git checkout main```
+```git pull origin main```
+
+This workflow allows you to safely experiment with changes in a separate branch, review them, and then integrate them into your main project without disrupting the main codebase.
