How branching databases work

Copy-on-write
A branch does not copy your data. It records changes on top of a shared base, so creating one takes seconds no matter how large the database is.
Why branch per pull request
Every pull request gets an isolated database to test migrations against, so reviewers see the real effect of a change before it merges.
