Tue, 3 Nov 2026 16:58:53 -0500 (EST) From: Junio C Hamano To: git@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] branch doc: consistently promote 'switch' Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:58:52 -0800 Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) X-Mailing-List: git@vger.kernel.org List-Id: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: List-Owner: Precedence: list MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain When 328c6cb853 (doc: promote "git switch", 2019-03-29) updated an example in git-branch documentation, it made an inconsistent change to turn "git checkout my2.6.14" command in an example into "git switch my2.6.14", without updating a comment that talks about a shorthand to create and checkout the newly created branch at the same time, which still talked about "checkout -b ". Update the latter to talk about "git switch -c" for consistency. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- * An alternative would be to list both "git checkout -b" and "git switch -c", as "git checkout" is not going away (for the purpose of *replacing* checkout, the switch/restore were a failed experiment, even though they gained enough users to stay).
