switch branches 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 switch branch

git switch <branch_name>

git checkout <branch_name>

Example 3: sitch a branch command line

$ git checkout <existing_branch>

$ git checkout -b <new_branch>

Example 4: git switch branch

git switch branch_name

git checkout branch_name

Example 5: canging branch in git

$ git checkout feature

Example 6: how to switch branches in git

                checks out the branch, switches to the branch.
- git checkout -b <branch_name> =
                creates a new branch and switches to it.
- git merge <branch_name> =
                this command takes changes from the given branch,
                and merges with the current branches we are on.
