how to switch branches in git command line 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 change branch
git checkout <<branchName>>
Example 3: git switch branch
git switch branch_name
git checkout branch_name
Example 4: sitch a branch command line
$ git switch <existing_branch>
$ git switch -c <non_existing_branch>
