About GitHub website

[TulipVorlax]

I recently submitted two "_fr.lang" files on GitHub and i dont know if it's something new, but the site said it created a new "branch" for each of them.

First, i'm not sure what a branch is, second, is there a way to submit files that will be in same branch ?

Also, i think that Wings got updated a lot since i created my fork (as it was apparently required to submit a file). I didn't see any button to update it. Does it update itself automatically ? Or maybe it was updated when i submitted my translation a few days ago ?

Thanks for any advice.
Even though I fear that the best advice would be to install the Git software.
