git change branch

git switch <branch_name>

git checkout <branch_name> 

git branch -a # it will show an astrick * like *master
git branch --show-current # source == git remote --help

[git checkout "branch_name"]

is another way to say:

[git checkout -b branch_name origin/branch_name]

in case "branch_name" exists only remotely.

[git checkout -b branch_name origin/branch_name] is useful in case you have multiple remotes.

Regarding [git checkout origin 'another_branch'] I'm not sure this is possible, AFAK you can do this using "fetch" command -- [git fetch origin 'another_branch']

$ git checkout <existing_branch>

$ git checkout -b <new_branch>

git checkout <<branchName>>

//when on branch 'dev' make branch 'myFeature' off of 'dev'
git checkout -b myFeature dev

git switch branch_name

git checkout branch_name 

git checkout [branch name]

$ git checkout feature

$ git branch iss53
$ git checkout iss53

Rename a local and remote branch in git
Rename your local branch. If you are on the branch you want to rename: git branch -m new-name. ...
Delete the old-name remote branch and push the new-name local branch. git push origin :old-name new-name.
Reset the upstream branch for the new-name local branch. Switch to the branch and then: git push origin -u new-name.
