HEAD vs master

What's the difference? They currently point to the same commit. I'm wondering if they are intended for different things.

Thanks,
Pat

HEAD is a reference that points to master, which is a branch. If you create a new branch, say called develop and check it out then HEAD will change to point to the new develop branch.
