How to create a new local branch in git

To create a new local branch in Git, you can use the following command:

git branch <branch-name>

Replace <branch-name> with the name you want to give to 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 -b option:

git branch -b feature/new-login-system

This will create the new branch and switch you to it.

Alternatively, you can use the git checkout command with the -b option to create a new branch and switch to it in one step:

git checkout -b feature/new-login-system

This will create the new branch and switch you to it, so you can start working on it immediately.
