Summary - Branch basics

Combine branch and switch to build a branch workflow.

Branch creation and switching workflow

To create a separate line of work in Git, you can first create a branch with git branch. Then use git switch to move to that branch and continue working. You can use git branch at any time to list branches.

git branch new-feature
git switch new-feature
git branch

In this workflow, creating a branch and switching to it are separate steps.

Exercise Complete the new branch workflow

Create a new branch named interface. Switch to this branch and finally list the existing branches.
