Subject: [PATCH] docs: submitting-patches: use git switch to create branches
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 14:45:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ardqGdjnd7kC1B-E@wyuan.org> (raw)

From: Weijie Yuan <wy@wyuan.org>

Git has been promoting "git switch" since git.git commit 328c6cb853d7
(doc: promote "git switch"), and the command is no longer experimental
as of Git 2.51.0.
