git switch branches 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 switch branch

git switch 

git checkout 

Example 3: git change branch

git checkout <>

Example 4: how to make new branch and switch in git

git checkout -b myNewBranch

Example 5: how to switch branches git
