How do i create a git branch?

From time to time you want to work off an other branch for certain things like new features.

To create new branch called dev, and view all branches, it also list the remote branches on github

$ git branch dev
$ git branch -a
  dev
* master
  remotes/origin/master

To to the branch you just created by doing this:

$ git checkout dev
Switched to branch 'dev'
$ git branch -a
* dev
  master
  remotes/origin/master

That * show which branch you are on.
