Switches to an existing branch.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git checkout <branch>` to switch to the specified branch.
|
|
- Note: In newer versions of git, you can also use `git switch <branch>`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout <branch>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout patch-1 # Switches to the branch named `patch-1`
|
|
```
