From the CLI, within your local repository directory
- Create a branch using the Git branch command. git branch <branch name>
- List the branches for this repository. You'll see the default branch master, and the new branch you created.
- Check out the branch. git checkout <branch name>
- Push the new branch to Bitbucket.
Thereof, how do you switch between branches?
Switch branches. The git checkout command allows you to switch branches by updating the files in your working tree to match the version stored in the branch that you wish to switch to. You can think of it as a way of switching between different workspaces.
Thereof, how do I create a new branch in bitbucket?
To create a branch from Bitbucket
- From the repository, click + in the global sidebar and select Create a branch under Get to work.
- From the popup that appears, select a Type (if using the Branching model), enter a Branch name and click Create.
- After you create a branch, you need to check it out from your local system.
But before you do that, delete the branch in Bitbucket, do a fetch in your local clone to update it (if doing it from Sourcetree, make sure you check prune tracking branches, from cmd use git fetch -p). Then you can rename the branch and push it back to Bitbucket.
