Enable dynamic branching in prebuilt shaders

To reduce the number of shaderA program that runs on the GPU. More info
See in Glossary variants in the Universal Render PipelineA series of operations that take the contents of a Scene, and displays them on a screen. Unity lets you choose from pre-built render pipelines, or write your own. More info
See in Glossary (URP), enable Unity using dynamic branching in prebuilt shaders instead of keywords and shader variants.

Note: If you target an older mobile device, dynamic branching can cause performance issues. Test on your target device.

Follow these steps:

1. From the main menu, go to Edit > Project Settings > Graphics.
2. In the Shader Build Settings section, select the Add (+) button.
3. Add the keyword set to change from static branching to dynamic branching, from the table below.
4. Set Type Override to dynamic_branch.
