Clone repo then create new branch

Here are the steps to clone a repository and create a new branch:

Step 1: Clone the repository

Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. Then, use the following command to clone the repository:

git clone <repository_url>

Replace <repository_url> with the URL of the repository you want to clone. For example:

git clone https://github.com/user/repository.git

This will create a local copy of the repository in a new directory with the same name as the repository.

Step 2: Create a new branch

Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the local repository directory:

cd repository_name

Then, use the following command to create a new branch:

git branch <branch_name>

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

git branch feature/new-login-system

This will create a new branch with the name feature/new-login-system.

Step 3: Switch to the new branch

To switch to the new branch, use the following command:

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.

That's it! You have now cloned a repository and created a new branch. You can start making changes to the code on this new branch.
