gt: Create a new branch stacked on top of the current branch and commit staged changes.
$ gt branch create ${branch_name}
try on your machine

The command "gt branch create ${branch_name}" is likely a typo, as there is no common or well-known command called "gt" in most command-line interfaces, including Unix/Linux terminals, Windows Command Prompt, or PowerShell.

However, assuming the correct command is "git branch create ${branch_name}", it would be a command used in a Git version control system. Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "git": It refers to the Git command-line tool, which is used for managing version control for software projects.
  • "branch": It is a Git subcommand used to work with branches, which are alternate timelines or snapshots of a repository's code.
  • "create": It is an argument to the "branch" subcommand, instructing Git to create a new branch.
  • "${branch_name}": It is a placeholder that represents the name of the branch you want to create. The actual branch name should be specified in place of "${branch_name}". For example, if you want to create a branch named "feature-x", the command becomes "git branch create feature-x".

Keep in mind that the actual command might vary depending on the Git version or the command-line tool you are using.
