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.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git checkout -b <branch> [-t <remote>/<branch>]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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
|
|
```
