Question

I current have a bare repo thats acts as a central repo for my team. The bare repo currently only have a branch \"master\". How can I create more branches on the bare repo?

Answer 1

To create a new branch (locally) called branchname

git branch branchname

Then to sync it with the remote repository like GitHub (if applicable)

git push origin branchname

And to use it for development / make the branch the active branch

git checkout branchname
