git -- how to see branch

Question

this a silly question no doubt but I am a beginner and could not find the answer.. how can I launch a git branch somewhere on my site, without affecting my master branch.. so see the changes it contains?

I'm using RoR... thanks.

It's likely you need a staging instance of your site on which you can deplay a git branch. — Nick Weaver, Mar 07 '11 at 00:31

Set up a separate development/staging site to test your branch on, and if it works, then apply the changes to the live site. You can search around for how to set up a ROR staging site, and google will turn up plenty of examples (including results from Stack Overflow, such as this one.)
