Hi guys, there is something I want to know, in the Linux kernel mailing
list some developers refer to URLs like these tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master.
I doubt that in my learning about git I have not seen any source code
called tree
so I want to know if a kernel tree is a branch? very thanks :)

Hi,
In the way the linux kernel is developed every "branch" is a own repo.
Here branches are own repos like "net" , "net-next" or "alsa" with own
maintainers and own mailing list. Think of them like different
subdivisions in a company (also sometimes called "branch"). In most
cases these "branches" are own repos, not "git branches". I know it's a
bit confusing at first
Cheers,
-- Richard
