In my repository, I have a master branch and then a staging branch coming out of master branch. Now I need to add a third branch that should come out from staging branch. That means I need a branch coming out of another branch. Can anyone help in this?
The syntax I used for creating branch is like this:
git branch <name_of_your_new_branch>
git push origin <name_of_your_new_branch>
git checkout <name_of_your_new_branch>
This can create your branch locally:
git checkout staging
git checkout -b newBranch
or, one line:
git checkout -b newBranch staging
That will start from the current HEAD of staging, but note that a branch doesn't really comes from another branch: it comes from a commit (and that commit can be part of multiple branches).
You can then push your new branch, tracking the the remote branch in one command:
git push -u origin newBranch
