How do i create git branch and switch at a time when creating a branch

Question

I am creating a branch with this command

git branch my-branch

and switch a newly created branch with another command

git checkout my-branch

Any idea about creating a branch and switch with one command

You can use checkout with -b to specify a new branch name

git checkout -b my-branch

From the docs

Specifying -b causes a new branch to be created as if git-branch were called and then checked out.

git switch -c newBranchName

it will create a new branch starting at the current head official docs and then switch to that branch
