+@section Creating branches
+
+The quickest way to create a new branch and
+start working on it is to issue a checkout
+command that create a new branch:
+
+@example
+git checkout -b BRANCH_NAME
+@end example
+
+After issuing this command you are located
+in a new branch. The create it in the origin,
+make a push:
+
+@example
+git push -u origin BRANCH_NAME
+@end example
+
+From this point on you can push without
+parameters:
+
+@example
+git push
+@end example
+
+The @command{-u origin BRANCH_NAME} is just
+to initially tell which remote repository
+a pushes should go to.
+
+To switch branch use the checkout command:
+
+@example
+git checkout BRANCH_NAME
+@end example
