This article explores three important concepts used in software development: README files, Wireframes and Git branches.

A README file is usually the first document people see when they visit a project. It provides an overview of the project, explains its purpose, gives installation instructions and helps users understand how to use the software.
A well-written README makes it easier for developers and contributors to understand and work with a project.

A wireframe is a simple visual representation of a webpage or application. It focuses on structure and layout rather than colours, images or final design elements.
Fun fact: designers use wireframes to plan where content, navigation and key features will appear before development begins.

A Git branch is an independent line of development within a Git repository. It allows developers to work on new features, bug fixes or experiments without affecting the main version of the project.
Once the work is complete and tested, the branch can be merged back into the main codebase.
