Branch

git branch git branch [NewBranchName git branch --merged git branch --no-merged git checkout [ExistingBranchName] git checkout -b [NewBranchName] git checkout --[FileName] git checkout -f git switch -c [NewBranchName] git merge [BranchNameToMergeWithCurrentBranch] git branch -d [BranchName]

list out all branch create new branch already merged branches not merged branches switch to existing mentioned branch create new branch and switch to it revert to previous stage for that file revert to previous stage for all changes create new branch and switch to it Merge provided branch name to merge with current branch Delete Branch
