# The `git checkout` command
Using the `git branch` command lets us create new branches seamlessly. However, the problem is that even though we get to create new branches, we still don’t actually know how to switch over to those branches and use them. The `git checkout` command lets us do just that.

Once you create a new branch (let's call it `new_branch`), use the following command while still currently on the `master` branch, to switch over to that new branch:
```
git checkout new_branch
```

Learn how Git allows us to quickly switch between different branches. This lesson also discusses an alternative way to create a new branch with Git.
