Switching branches is one of Git's most powerful features. You can jump between different branches instantly, and Git keeps track of changes automatically. However, if you have uncommitted changes, Git warns you to either commit or stash them first—otherwise you might lose your work.
Switching Between Branches
Use `git checkout branch-name` to switch. If you have modifications in your current branch, Git prevents you from switching to avoid data loss. To safely switch, commit or stash your changes, or use `git checkout branch` with `-f` to force a switch (use with caution).
$ git status
$ git checkout develop
$ git stash
$ git checkout feature-branch
