  6. Click the "Create branch" button.

Using the Command Line:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
  2. Navigate to your local repository using the cd command.
  3. Use the git branch command to create a new branch. For example:

Using Git Bash (on Windows):

Pushing the new branch to GitHub:

  1. Once you've created the new branch locally, you'll need to push it to GitHub.
  2. Use the git push command to push the new branch to GitHub. For example:
    git push origin new-branch-name

    Replace new-branch-name with the name of the branch you created.

Switching to the new branch:

  1. Once you've pushed the new branch to GitHub, you can switch to it using the git checkout command. For example:
