Create and work on new branch

#Before creating a new branch, pull the changes from upstream. Your master needs to be up to date.

git pull

#Create the branch on your local machine and switch on this branch :

git checkout -b [name_of_your_new_branch]

#Push the branch on github :

git push origin [name_of_your_new_branch]

#commit a change on the branch

git commit -m 'description change'

#push change on origin/branch

git push origin [name_of_your_new_branch]

Work on an existing branch from a remote

#checkout on a remote branch (from origin for example)

git checkout --track origin/[branch_name]

#Commit, push, etc are the same than above

#Switch from branch A to branch B: (Note: you need to have push your changes from branch A before to go on branch B)

git checkout [name_of_branch_B]
