#git

A switch command has been added in the new version of git

Let's look at examples:

 # switched to <branch> git switch <branch> # creates a new <branch> git switch -c <branch> # switched to commit git switch -d <commit> # creates and switches to branch from remote. # need to use if branch exists in multiple remotes git switch -c <branch> --track <remote>/<branch> # switch to a branch even if the index or working tree is different from HEAD # this is used to throw away local changes git switch --discard-changes <branch> # alias for --discard-changes git switch -f <branch> # switch back to the previous branch before we switched git switch - 

Command available on version Git 2.23.0 or higher
