Hi All,

For example, look at Merge & branch source code with TFS 2012 on YouTube.
Note that you can use your favourite search engine to find more links if needed.
You can do whatever works the best for you. But note that having extra branches means extra merges, which takes time and might lead to conflicts, especially if you don't merge often enough.
My recommendation is starting with a small number of branches and add new ones if needed. Note that creating a branch is simple, therefore you can easily create them on demand (e.g. to develop a particular feature in isolation and removing the branch).
I'm not a fan of having a branch for each developer.
By the way, I said that creating branches is easy, but switching branches in F&O is a different story.
1. This has nothing to do with branches. Each commit of changes (changeset in TFVC terminology) has some properties associated with it and the name of the author is one of them.
2. It depends. If you the change of Dev2 was done before changes by Dev1, you can simply build and deploy the older version. Otherwise you can rollback changes don't by Dev1 (and merge code), or use branches.
3. It's a branch called "main". If has no special meaning as such, it's just in how to use it. For example, you may want to develop in a separate branch (Dev) and merge code to main when it passes some quality checks.
4. In those branches you choose. Most of your code will be in all branches.
5. See 3.
Yes Muthu, I have few questions
Suppose two developers are working in same object like for example SalesTable
Users - Dev 1 and Dev 2
My question is
1. Hiw will identify which code is wrote by Dev1 or Dev2 ?
2. If I wants to deploy the code done by user Dev 2 not Dev1, how we can do?
3.what is main branch ?
4. In which branch our code get stored?
5. Is there any role of main branch during deployment through LCS?
Kindly elaborate please.
Thanks!
branching refers to the code repository along with objects versioning. It helps to tracking the development changes along with the history and you can use the branch in build pipelines for deployment procedure
below links can give some details on this subject,

if you have any specific question, it will be easy to give correct direction
