Right now, the Git project has only one branch: master
.
To create a new branch, use:
git branch new_branch
Here new_branch
would be the name of the new branch you create, like photos
or blurb
. Be sure to name your branch something that describes the purpose of the branch. Also, branch names can’t contain whitespaces: new-branch
and new_branch
are valid branch names, but new branch
is not.
Instructions

Next, view your branches as you did in the previous exercise.
Notice in the output there now appear two branches: master
and fencing
.
