Creating a new branch and switching over to it is done with the following line of code

> git checkout -b my-second-branch

You can work on this branch now by editing files and when it is time to commit and push to github, all you need is to issue same commands ads if you work with master branch

> git add .

> git commit -m “My message for commit”

Next step is to push from your origin which is now your branched git tree to the branch established on github.

> git push origin my-second-branch

Git Push requires to have origin parameter set. Here is an eaxmple how to set it correctly if you are not done so already

> git remote add origin git@github.com:my-git-name/my-git-repo.git

You can always find what your current branch is by issuing the following command

> git branch

If you realize that you are currently on the wrong branch, you can issue switch statement and move over to branch that you need

> git checkout my-second-branch
