+=== Creating a new branch from the current ref ===
+
+Using git checkout you can start a new branch:
+
+{{{
+git checkout -b testing
+}}}
+
+Lets change the test file in this branch so we can identify it in the future:
+
+{{{
+echo "Testing Branch" > testfile
+git add testfile
+git commit -m "Change the test file for the Testing Branch"
+}}}
+
+=== Switching between branches ===
+
+Using git checkout you can switch between branches. Switch back to master and check the testfile:
+
+{{{
+git checkout master
+cat testfile
+}}}
+
+Switch back to testing and check the test file
+
+{{{
+git checkout testing
+cat testfile
+}}}
