Chapter 9 - Git Branch Operation - Command Lines смотреть онлайн

Git branch operations can be performed from the command line using the git branch command. Here are some examples of how to use the git branch command:

To create a new branch, use the following command:

git branch branch-name
Replace branch-name with the name of the branch you want to create. For example, to create a branch named feature-branch, use the following command:


To switch to a different branch, use the git checkout command followed by the name of the branch. For example, to switch to the feature-branch branch created in the previous step, use the following command:


git checkout feature-branch
To create a new branch and switch to it at the same time, use the -b option with the git checkout command. For example, to create a new branch named hotfix and switch to it, use the following command:

git checkout -b hotfix
To list all the branches in the repository, use the following command:

git branch
This will list all the branches in the repository, with an asterisk (*) next to the currently active branch.

To delete a branch, use the following command:

git branch -d branch-name
Replace branch-name with the name of the branch you want to delete. For example, to delete the feature-branch branch created earlier, use the following command:


git branch -d feature-branch
These are some of the basic Git branch operations you can perform from the command line using the git branch command.
