git-create-branch: Create a branch locally and on origin.
$ git create-branch --remote ${branch_name}
try on your machine

This command "git create-branch --remote ${branch_name}" is not a valid git command. The correct command to create a new branch in git includes the "checkout" keyword and it does not have a "--remote" option. The correct command to create a new branch in git is "git checkout -b ${branch_name}".

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "git" is the command-line interface for version control.
  • "checkout" is a command in git used to switch between branches.
  • "-b" is a flag used with the "checkout" command to create a new branch.
  • "${branch_name}" is a placeholder for the name you want to give to the new branch. You should replace it with the desired name for your branch.

For example, if you want to create a new branch named "feature/xyz", you would use the command "git checkout -b feature/xyz".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
