![FREE SOFTWARE](/assets/categories/freesoftware.webp)
Most notable for Git 2.23 are the new git switch and git restore sub-commands as experimental alternatives to git checkout. The new switch/restore sub-commands aim to separate the responsibilities of checking out into the changing of branches and the operations that change files.
More details on these new Git sub-commands along with other minor refinements for this distributed revision control system can be found via the GitHub blog for a lengthy write-up while there is also the mailing list announcement.
