Now that you have identified your tag, you can create a new branch from it using the “git checkout” command. Alternatively, you can use the “git log” command to identify a tag associated with a commit. In order to list your existing tags, you can use the “git tag” command. $ git branch īack to our previous example, let’s say that you want to create a new Git branch from a tag named “v1.0” in your history. $ git checkout -b Īlternatively, if you don’t want to switch to your new branch, you can use the “git branch” with the branch name and the tag name. In order to create a new Git branch from a tag, use the “git checkout” command with the “-b” option and specify the branch name as well the tag name for your new branch. In previous tutorials, we have seen that Git tags are pretty useful : they can be use as reference points in your development.Īs a consequence, it can be quite useful to create Git branches from existing tags. $ git log -oneline -graphĪwesome, you have successfully created a new Git branch from a specific commit! Create Git Branch from Tag Using the “git log” command, you can verify that your branch was created from the second commit of your history. To create a new Git branch from the second commit (f2fcb99), you would run the following command $ git checkout -b feature f2fcb99
* cab6e1b (origin/master) master : initial commit To get commits SHA from your history, you have to use the “git log” with the “–oneline” option.

Going back to our previous example, let’s say that you want to create a branch named “feature”. You can later on switch to your new Git branch by using the “git checkout” function. In order to create a new Git branch, without switching to this new branch, you have to use the “git branch” command and specify the name of the Git branch to be created.
$ git checkout -b featureĪs you can see, by using the “git checkout” command, you are creating a new branch and you are switching to this new branch automatically.īut what if you wanted to create a Git branch without switching to the new branch automatically? Create Git Branch without switching To achieve that, you will run the “git checkout” command with the “-b” option and add “feature” as the branch name. $ git checkout -b Īs an example, let’s say that you want to create a new Git branch from the master branch named “feature” Next, you just have to specify the name for the branch you want to create.
