git change branch command 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: canging branch in git

$ git checkout <existing_branch>

$ git checkout -b <new_branch>

Example 3: how to branch from a branch in git

$ git checkout -b myFeature dev

Example 4: how to switch another branch in git

git checkout 'another_branch'

Example 5: git switch branch

git switch <branch_name>

git checkout <branch_name>

Example 6: git change branch

git checkout <<branchName>>
