git change current branch code example
Example 1: git rename branch
git branch -m <oldname> <newname> # Any Branch
git branch -m <newname> # Current Branch
# For windows if you get "Branch already exists" error
git branch -M <newname>
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: git switch branch
git switch <branch_name>
git checkout <branch_name>
Example 4: git change branch
git checkout <<branchName>>
Example 5: git change branch
$ git branch iss53
$ git checkout iss53
