Many times you want to create a new branch for a feature.

This is usually the case if you want to merge your current branch with the master branch. The workflow is like this:

• Create new branch
• Commit changes
• Pull latest master
• Merge

This is how you do it in bash / git bash.

# Create Branch and Switch to It
> git checkout -b branch_name

# Commit Changes
> ...

# Change Back to Master/Dev
> git checkout master

# Pull Latest Changes
> git pull

# Merge with Branch
> git merge branch_name
