## git branch branch_name



## How to switch to a newly created branch in Git:

#### When you want to use a different or a newly created branch you can use this command:

## git checkout branch_name

#### This lets you update the remote without merging any content into the

#### local branches. You can call git merge or git checkout to do the merge.

## git remote update



## How to push a new branch to a remote repo in Git:

#### If you want to push a branch to a remote repository you can use the command below. Just remember to add -u to create the branch upstream:

## git push -u origin branch_name



## How to remove a remote branch in Git:

#### If you no longer need a remote branch you can remove it using the command below:
