git create branch from main

#git #gitcommand #github #gitlab

Method 1: Create branch from main, then switch

git branch <new-branch-name> main git checkout <new-branch-name>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Method 2: Create and switch in one command

git checkout -b <new-branch-name> main
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Method 3: Using newer git switch command

git switch -c <new-branch-name> main
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Examples:

# Create a new feature branch from main git checkout -b feature-user-authentication main # Create a bug fix branch from main git switch -c fix-login-issue main # Create a hotfix branch from main git checkout -b hotfix-critical-bug main
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After created new brach you can't push/pull your code let's try here first:

git push --set-upstream origin <branch-name-you-created>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
