git cannot switch to master branch

Question

After I create a branch using this command. git branch new_featuregit checkout new_feature
and then using the git checkout master command will not switch to the main branch.
Error: error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
What is going on? Ask for guidance. Thanks!

Answer 1

This error should be that there is no master this branch, you can pass

git branch

See what branches are currently available
or git checkout -b master switch back to the main branch.
