change branches in git bash 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: git command to create a branch from another branch
$ git checkout -b myfeature dev
