To switch to a new branch in your terminal and push it to GitHub after making changes in Visual Studio Code, follow these steps:
1. Save and close any open files in Visual Studio Code.
2. Open your terminal or command prompt.
3. Navigate to your project's directory using the cd command. For example, if your project is located in the ~/Documents/my-project directory, you can use the following command:
< cd ~/Documents/my-project >
4. Check the current branch of your repository using the following command:
< git branch >
This command will list all the branches in your repository and the current branch will be indicated with an asterisk (*) next to its name.
5. Create a new branch using the following command, replacing new-branch-name with the desired name for your new branch:
<git branch new-branch-name >
6. Switch to the new branch using the following command:
<git checkout new-branch-name>
7. Open Visual Studio Code and open the file(s) you want to make changes to.
8. Make the necessary changes to your code.
9. Save the changes in Visual Studio Code.
10. Go back to your terminal.
11. Stage the changes you made by using the following command:
<git add .>
This command stages all the changes in your repository.
12. Commit the changes with a descriptive message using the following command:
<git commit -m "Your commit message">
13. Push the changes to the new branch on GitHub using the following command:
<git push origin new-branch-name>
This command pushes the changes to the remote repository on GitHub, specifically to the new branch you created.
After executing these steps, your changes should be pushed to the new branch on GitHub.
