Checking out to a new branch

You're planning to check out to a new branch!

Before you do, make sure you have the necessary permissions and that the new branch exists in your repository. Here are the general steps to check out to a new branch:

1. List all branches: Run git branch to list all the branches in your repository, including the current branch.
2. Create a new branch: Run git branch <branch-name> to create a new branch with the specified name. Replace <branch-name> with the name you want to give your new branch.
3. Switch to the new branch: Run git checkout <branch-name> to switch to the new branch. This will update your local repository to the new branch.

Example:

$ git branch
  master
  feature/new-feature

$ git branch new-feature-branch
$ git checkout new-feature-branch

In this example, we create a new branch called new-feature-branch and then switch to it using git checkout.

Tips:

• Make sure to commit any changes you've made to your current branch before switching to a new branch.
• You can also use git checkout -b <branch-name> to create a new branch and switch to it in one step.
• If you want to create a new branch from an existing branch, you can use git checkout -b <new-branch> <existing-branch>.
