+Creates and switches to a new branch, optionally setting up a remote tracking branch.
+
+- Use `git checkout -b <branch>` to create a new branch with the specified name and switch to it.
+- You can optionally add `-t <remote>/<branch>` to set up a remote tracking branch for the newly created branch.
+- Note: You can alternatively use `git branch <branch> [-t <remote>/<branch>]` and then `git checkout <branch>` separately.
+
+```shell
+git checkout -b <branch> [-t <remote>/<branch>]
+```
+
+```shell
+git checkout -b patch-1
+# Local branch, without a remote tracking branch
+
+git checkout -b patch-2 -t origin/patch-2
+# Local branch and remote tracking branch with the same name
+```
