DuplicateBranches
Both branches contain identical code

The problem

Branching constructs (if statements, conditional expressions) should contain difference code in the two branches. Repeating identical code in both branches is usually a bug.

For example:

condition ? same : same 

if (condition) { same(); } else { same(); } 

this usually indicates a typo where one of the branches was supposed to contain different logic:

condition ? something : somethingElse 

if (condition) { doSomething(); } else { doSomethingElse(); }
