What Demo Branch does

description: Create a new demo branch with auto-incrementing number

Create a new git branch named "demo-branch" (or "demo-branch-2", "demo-branch-3", etc. if it already exists).

Steps:

Check if "demo-branch" exists: git branch --list demo-branch
If it exists, check "demo-branch-2", "demo-branch-3", etc. until you find an available name
Create and checkout the new branch: git checkout -b
Confirm the branch was created and show current status
