How to create a new branch in git
To create a new branch in Git, you can use the following command:
git branch <branch-name>
Replace <branch-name>
with the name you want to give your new branch.
For example, to create a new branch called "feature/new-login-system", you would run:
git branch feature/new-login-system
This will create a new branch with the specified name, but it won't switch you to that branch. You can verify that the branch was created by running:
git branch
This will list all the branches in your repository, including the new one.
If you want to switch to the new branch immediately, you can use the -c
option:
git branch -c <branch-name>
This will create the new branch and switch you to it.
Alternatively, you can use the git checkout
command with the -b
option:
git checkout -b <branch-name>
This will create a new branch and switch you to it in one step.
For example:
git checkout -b feature/new-login-system
This will create a new branch called "feature/new-login-system" and switch you to it.
Note: If you're working on a remote repository, you may need to use git push
to push the new branch to the remote repository.
