git-branch: Create new branch based on a specific commit.
$ git branch ${branch_name} ${commit_hash}
try on your machine
This command creates a new branch in Git called ${branch_name} at a specific ${commit_hash}. Here's a breakdown of the command:
git branch
: This is the main command that deals with branches in Git.- ${branch_name}: This is a placeholder for the desired name of the new branch. You would replace ${branch_name} with an actual name, like "feature/xyz" or "bugfix/123".
- ${commit_hash}: This is the specific commit hash (also known as the commit ID or SHA-1 hash) from which you want to create the new branch. It indicates the exact point in the Git history where you want to start the new branch. You would replace ${commit_hash} with the appropriate hash.
By running this command, Git will create a new branch named ${branch_name} that starts from the commit specified by ${commit_hash}. This allows you to create branches at specific points in the project's history, enabling you to work on different features, bug fixes, or experiments concurrently.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
