checkout -b not discussed but mentioned in summary

At the end of this video, she says checkout -b is how you create a branch, but in the walkthrough, that's not how it was done. Just FYI.

Yes there is many ways to do things in git. The way you mentioned is how I do it on a daily basis.

git checkout -b myBranchName

This will make you the new branch AND ALSO take you into there.
