8,764 PointsClarity on Git -b from Git Basics
Learning to use Git in the terminal and while taking the course, Git Basics, I noticed in the Challenge Task 5 that there was a question:
Use the trick we learned in the previous video to create a branch named another_new_feature AND switch to it, all in one command.
and the answer is git checkout -b another_new_feature
To clarify, the -b is a shorthand to branch? So in the future instead of writing out git branch foobar could I just use the shorthand approach of git -b foobar?
Also, is there a good reference to study for all shorthand commands?
