git-switch: Create a new branch based on an existing commit and switch to it.
$ git switch --create ${branch_name} ${commit}
try on your machine
This command is used for creating a new branch and switching to it, starting from a specific commit.
Here is the breakdown of each part of the command:
git switch
: This is the command used to switch branches in Git.--create
: This flag is used to specify that a new branch should be created. If the branch already exists, this flag is not necessary.${branch_name}
: This is the name of the new branch you want to create.${commit}
: This is the specific commit where you want the new branch to start from. It can be either a commit hash, a branch name, a tag, or any valid Git reference.
Putting it all together, git switch --create ${branch_name} ${commit}
creates a new branch with the given ${branch_name}
starting from the ${commit}
specified. Additionally, it switches the current branch to the newly created branch.
