change branch git code example
Example 1: how to swap branch git
[git checkout "branch_name"]
is another way to say:
[git checkout -b branch_name origin/branch_name]
in case "branch_name" exists only remotely.
[git checkout -b branch_name origin/branch_name] is useful in case you have multiple remotes.
Regarding [git checkout origin 'another_branch'] I'm not sure this is possible, AFAK you can do this using "fetch" command -- [git fetch origin 'another_branch']
Example 2: canging branch in git
$ git checkout <existing_branch>
$ git checkout -b <new_branch>
Example 3: how to switch between two branches in git
git switch my_branch
Example 4: git switch branch
git switch <branch_name>
git checkout <branch_name>
Example 5: change branch git
git checkout <branch_name>
Example 6: change branch git
- git checkout xyz =
checks out the branch, switches to the branch.
- git checkout -b <branch_name> =
creates a new branch and switches to it.
- git merge <branch_name> =
this command takes changes from the given branch,
and merges with the current branches we are on.
