Checking out into a new branch

You're about to create a new branch in your version control system!

To check out into a new branch, you'll typically use the following commands:

For Git:

  1. git branch <branch-name>: Create a new branch with the specified name.
  2. git checkout -b <branch-name>: Create a new branch and switch to it immediately.

Example:

git branch feature/new-login-system
git checkout -b feature/new-login-system

This will create a new branch called feature/new-login-system and switch to it.

For Mercurial:

  1. hg branch <branch-name>: Create a new branch with the specified name.
  2. hg update <branch-name>: Switch to the new branch.

Example:

hg branch feature/new-login-system
hg update feature/new-login-system

This will create a new branch called feature/new-login-system and switch to it.

For SVN:

  1. svn copy <path-to-trunk> <path-to-new-branch>: Create a new branch by copying the trunk.
  2. svn switch <path-to-new-branch>: Switch to the new branch.

Example:

svn copy https://example.com/svn/trunk https://example.com/svn/branches/feature/new-login-system
svn switch https://example.com/svn/branches/feature/new-login-system

This will create a new branch called feature/new-login-system and switch to it.

Remember to replace <branch-name> with the actual name you want to give your new branch.
