I’m looking for guidance on the safest next step to take, as my project is currently live and I want to avoid losing context or introducing issues.
At the moment, my full project conversation is still visible and intact. However, I’m being prompted to create a “New Branch,” and I’m worried that doing so may cause the existing conversation to disappear or become inaccessible, especially since so much project context lives in that chat.
I also wasn’t aware that after chatting, the update would automatically push live. I now see that the update has successfully deployed to the live website, which is reassuring, but it has made me more cautious about clicking anything further without understanding the implications.
Specifically, I’m unsure what the correct workflow should be at this point:
-
Is pressing “New Branch” the recommended and safest way to continue making updates?
-
Would creating a new branch risk hiding or removing the existing conversation?
-
Alternatively, is it better to pull the main request into a new chat instead?
-
How can I continue making changes without risking disruption to the currently live website?
My main concerns are:
-
Preserving the existing conversation and project context
-
Avoiding unintended changes to the live site
-
Understanding how branching affects both chat history and deployments
I want to proceed correctly, but I’m hesitant to click anything further without confirmation, given that this project has been live for months.
Any clarification on best practices here would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help,
Julian
