To switch to a new branch, you first need to create it and then move to it. The command that both creates a new branch and allows you to switch to it is <code>git checkout -b &lt;branch-name&gt;<\/code>. However, among the provided options, the command <code>git branch testing<\/code> will create a new branch called &#8220;testing,&#8221; but it will not switch to it. To switch to the newly created branch, you would need to use <code>git checkout testing<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an explanation of each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>a. git branch testing<\/strong>: This command creates a new branch called &#8220;testing,&#8221; but it does not switch to it. You would still be on your current branch. To switch to the new &#8220;testing&#8221; branch, you need to use <code>git checkout testing<\/code> after this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>b. git commit \u2010m &#8220;testing&#8221;<\/strong>: This command is used for committing changes to the current branch with a message. It does not create or switch branches. The <code>git commit<\/code> command is part of the version control process to save changes made to files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>c. git checkout testing<\/strong>: This command is used to switch to an existing branch called &#8220;testing.&#8221; If the branch doesn\u2019t exist yet, Git will show an error message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>d. git branch<\/strong>: This command shows a list of all branches in your repository, highlighting the current branch. It does not create or switch branches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, <code>git branch testing<\/code> will only create the new branch, and you would need to run <code>git checkout testing<\/code> separately to switch to it. If you want to create and switch to a new branch in one command, the correct command would be <code>git checkout -b testing<\/code>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following commands allows you to switch to a new Git branch called testing? a. git branch testing b. git commit \u2010m &#8220;testing&#8221; c. git checkout testing d. git branch The correct answer and explanation is: The correct answer is a. git branch testing.
