Today I learned a new way to checkout a new branch from other branch or a tag.
Normal way width git branch & git checkout
{{< highlight bash >}}
git branch new_branch base_branch
git checkout new_branch
{{< / highlight >}}
Only with git checkout
{{< highlight bash >}}
# creates and checkout the new branch from the base branch
git checkout base_branch -b new_branch
# creates and checkout the new branch from the tag
git checkout tag_name -b new_branch
{{< / highlight >}}
