Check out to a new branch

You want to check out to a new branch!

In Git, a branch is a separate line of development that allows you to work on a feature or fix an issue without affecting the main codebase. Here's how you can check out to a new branch:

Create a new branch:

git branch <branch-name>

Replace <branch-name> with the name you want to give your new branch. For example:

git branch feature/new-login-system

This will create a new branch called feature/new-login-system that is based on the current branch (usually master).

Switch to the new branch:

git checkout <branch-name>

Replace <branch-name> with the name of the branch you just created. For example:

git checkout feature/new-login-system

This will switch your local repository to the new branch.

Verify the branch:

git branch

This will list all the branches in your local repository, including the new one you just created.

That's it! You're now working on a new branch. You can make changes, commit them, and push them to the remote repository. When you're done, you can merge the branch back into the main branch (usually master) using git merge or git pull.

Remember to always commit your changes regularly and push them to the remote repository to avoid losing your work.
