hi, if i create a lakefs branch (say off of master, or perhaps another branch or tag), and then, in that branch, without making any changes or commits, i delete the data - will this affect the data in the original branch/tag that my new branch was based on? i would imagine it should not, but wanted to confirm - thanks

Hello @Verun Rahimtoola. You are absolutely right. Deleting the data on one branch does not affect the data on another. This is quite similar to the way git uses branches.

ok, awesome! thanks for the quick response, cheers!
