What I changed
While going through the Git cheatsheet, I noticed that the branch section uses
git checkoutfor switching to an existing branch and creating a new branch.I updated these two examples to use the dedicated
git switchcommands:git switch my_branch— switch to an existing branchgit switch -c new_branch— create and switch to a new branchThe reason for this change is that
git switchis specifically designed for branch switching and creation, making the commands clearer and easier to understand for people learning Git.git checkoutis still a valid Git command, but it is used for several different purposes, whereasgit switchmakes the branch-related operation more explicit.I kept the change limited to these two examples in the Git cheatsheet.
