localhost

Hi,

I think there's something I don't understand about Branching

How can I run my website from localhost to test my changes made on a Branch

Let's say my branch structure is

-Dev
 -UI
 -App
Main
 -UI
 -App

The project UI and App from the main are map in my IIS, it's all working well

Now I want to make some changes in the UI project from Dev branch, and I want to test these changes before I merge them to Main

Thanks
