Hi,
I tried following commands to test branching:
git branch test
git checkout test
echo "Test branch" >> testfile
git status
git checkout master
git add .
git commit
git push
The 'testfile' file shows up in 'master' as well as 'test'. I thought
it would be seen only in test branch, but it is not so. Is it normal
or am I missing something? I was unable to repeat same behavior again,
so I am confused now. Any clues?

1. You are now on branch "test"

2. This does nothing as far as git is concerned.
"testfile" is still unknown to git.

4. You just committed "testfile" to branch "master".
Recall #3. This may be where your confusion began.

Nope, it only shows up in master.
try:
git checkout test
It is gone.
