your outie uses git checkout -b rather than git switch -c

what’s wrong with checkout…

it’s like several commands confusingly crammed into one so it’s been superseded by the more idiomatic git switch and git restore

Ok, but it realistically completes *one* task: checking out a new branch. Why would that even need to be multiple commands?

because you can also use it to revert a file to given commit which is completely different, hence git restore

Wait you can use git checkout to revert a file?? 😭

git checkout <commit> -- /path/to/file

I can't tell if I love or hate this, but I 100% get your point now about using git switch

yep, I mean I still use checkout lol but you can see why they want to split the command out into simpler ones

The git project needs to have a page that's just "The year is 2025, use these commands please" so I can stop being dumb :P
