go to branch code example

Example 1: create and go to branch

git checkout -b 

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: how to switch branches in git

git checkout [branch name]

Example 4: github go to a branch

git checkout
