Create a Git Branch
Create a Git Branch
In this tutorial, let’s learn how to create a branch using GitHub and Git client. Branching allows us to work on different versions of the same repository. Using branches we can work on new features without making changes to the original master branch.
Create a branch on GitHub
Log in to GitHub.
Navigate to the project repository.
Click on the master branch.
Enter the new branch name.
Click on the Create branch link.
Create a Git branch
We can use the git branch command to create, list branches on the command line.
$ git branch <branchname>
To create a new branch using the Git command line and to switch to the newly created branch, issue the command:
$ git checkout -b git-branch-demo
$ git checkout -b git-branch-demo Switched to a new branch 'git-branch-demo' hp@LAPTOP-3NKORD70 MINGW64 ~/SampleProject (git-branch-demo) $ git status On branch git-branch-demo Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) src/GitBranchFeatureDemo.java nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) hp@LAPTOP-3NKORD70 MINGW64 ~/SampleProject (git-branch-demo) $ git add . hp@LAPTOP-3NKORD70 MINGW64 ~/SampleProject (git-branch-demo) $ git commit -m "Git-demo-branch Commit" [git-branch-demo 33d4a37] Git-demo-branch Commit 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/GitBranchFeatureDemo.java hp@LAPTOP-3NKORD70 MINGW64 ~/SampleProject (git-branch-demo) $ git push fatal: The current branch git-branch-demo has no upstream branch.
