Git/checkout

About

The git checkout command allows you to switch branches. If you've got incomplete changes you want to set aside before switching branches, use git stash.

Options

• git checkout -b <name> does the same thing as executing these two commands:
  • git branch <name> creates a new branch called "name", pointing at the current HEAD revision
  • git checkout <name> moves HEAD to point to the branch called "name"
