Create a new branch
Creates and switches to a new branch, optionally setting up a remote tracking branch.
- Use
git checkout -b <branch>
to create a new branch with the specified name and switch to it. - You can optionally add
-t <remote>/<branch>
to set up a remote tracking branch for the newly created branch.
git checkout -b <branch> [-t <remote>/<branch>] # Examples git checkout -b patch-1 # Local branch, without a remote tracking branch git checkout -b patch-2 -t origin/patch-2 # Local branch and remote tracking branch with the same name
