+1.Check if your repository has any commits:Run this command in Git Bash:
+
+{% webui %}
+
+```shell
+git log
+```
+
+{% endwebui %}
+
+{% cli %}
+
+```shell
+git log
+```
+
+{% endcli %}
+
+{% desktop %}
+
+2.Check your current branch name:
+
+{% webui %}
+
+```shell
+git branch
+```
+
+{% endwebui %}
+
+{% cli %}
+
+```shell
+git log
+```
+
+{% endcli %}
+
+{% desktop %}
+
+3.If you don't have any commits yet, make an initial commit:
+
+{% webui %}
+
+```shell
+git add .
+git commit -m "Initial commit"
+```
+
+{% endwebui %}
+
+{% cli %}

+4.Now try creating your new branch:
+
+{% webui %}

+{% cli %}
+
+```shell
+git checkout -b your-new-branch-name
+```
+
+{% endcli %}

+
+{% webui %}
+
+```shell
+git checkout -b your-new-branch-name main
+```
+
+{% endwebui %}
