change branches git code example

Example 1: git create new branch

// Example for creating a new branch named myNewBranch
git checkout -b myNewBranch

// First Push
git push --set-upstream origin myNewBranch

Example 2: 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 3: edit branch name git

$ git checkout Branch-Name-You-Want-to-Change
$ git branch -m New-Branch-Name

Example 4: git change branch name

git branch –m old-name new-name

Example 5: git change branch

git checkout <>

Example 6: git switch branch

git switch branch_name

git checkout branch_name
