git-switch: Create a new branch and switch to it.
$ git switch --create ${branch_name}
try on your machine
The command git switch --create is used to create a new branch and switch to it at the same time. The branch_name is the name you want to give to the new branch.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
git switch: This is the command to switch branches in Git.
-
--create: This flag is used to create a new branch.
-
${branch_name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name you want to give to the new branch. You need to replace ${branch_name} with the desired name, without the curly braces.
When you execute this command, it will create a new branch with the specified name (branch_name) and switch to it. This means that any changes you make afterwards will be done on this newly created branch, keeping your main branch or any other branch unchanged.
