Let's learn together.

I propose a let's learn thread where you post a topic you consistently find hard and the guys in the comments help you understand it better.

I start by mentioning that sometimes git checkout -b and setting up a new git branch to track a remote branch usually confuses me. I always have to Google how to do it. Even if I think I understood it last time. Is there a way you learned and understood this particular set of git commands?

I'm curious — do you find that it is the command you can't remember or the "concept" you have a hard time remembering?

[Patrick Wendo]

It's the command. Cause I typically know what to search for to get the command, but I can never remember the command.
