git checkout -b <branchname>
Create a new branch and switch to it
This git checkout -b command creates a new branch with the specified name, and then switches to that branch. It is a combination of two individual commands: git branch <branchname> which creates a new branch, and git checkout <branchname> which switches to the new branch.
Potential variations include:
git checkout --orphan <branchname>: Creates a new orphan branch without any commit history.git checkout -b <branchname> <commit>: Creates a new branch with the specified name and starting from the specified commit.
