How to create a new branch from a tag?

Question

I\'d like to create a new master branch from an existing tag. Say I have a tag v1.0. How to create a new branch from this tag?

Answer 1

I used the following steps to create a new hot fix branch from a Tag.

Syntax

git checkout -b  

Steps to do it.

1. git checkout -b NewBranchName v1.0
2. Make changes to pom / release versions
3. Stage changes
4. git commit -m "Update pom versions for Hotfix branch"
5. Finally push your newly created branch to remote repository.

git push -u origin NewBranchName

I hope this would help.
