commit to new branch code example

Example 1: git create new branch

// create and checkout new branch in one line
git checkout -b new_branch

Example 2: commit to a new branch

git checkout -b your-new-branch
git add <files>
git commit -m <message>

First, checkout your new branch. 
Then add all the files you want to commit to staging. 
Lastly, commit all the files you just added. 
You might want to do a git push origin your-new-branch afterward so your changes show up on the remote.

Example 3: merge git branch

1. //pull the latest changes of current development branch if any        
git pull (current development branch)

2. //switch to master branch
git checkout master 

3. //pull all the changes if any
git pull

4. //Now merge development into master    
git merge development

5. //push the master branch
git push origin master

Example 4: git merge branch

//this is for merging into a local branch//

// checkout the branch to merge INTO
git checkout master
// merge local feature branch into master branch
git merge feature_branch_name

Example 5: how to commit a branch in git

git commit -m "added my github name"

Example 6: git bring your changes to a new branch

git checkout -b <new-branch>
// This will leave your current branch as it is, create and checkout a new branch and keep all your changes. You can then stage changes in files to commit with:

git add <files>
//and commit to your new branch with:

git commit -m "<Brief description of this commit>"
