Are you looking for `git checkout master`? – wjandrea Jun 11 '19 at 14:50

1`git checkout some-branch`. If you want to create a new branch from another: `git branch new-branch old-branch`. If you would like to create anew branch from another _and checkout_, `git checkout -b new-branch another-branch`. – eftshift0 Jun 11 '19 at 14:51

For example:
git checkout -b new_branch origin/master

It would probably be helpful if you could explain what this does. This would 1) Create a new branch based on the "master" branch with name "new_branch" and 2) checkout to the new branch. – Daan Jun 11 '19 at 15:00
