Don't forget to backup to GitHub

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

In Django Part 2, heading 'Don't forget to backup' in the line git checkout -b skeleton_website # Create and activate a new branch "skeletonwebsite" I kept getting this error 'fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'skeletonwebsite' at the same time.' until I changed the -b to -B. Does that only happen in Windows? Windows 11 Pro 23h2, Django 4.2.12, Git 2.45.2.windows.1

What did you expect to see?

git checkout -b <branchname> is correct on all platforms - I work on both Windows and Linux. I can't explain your problem but the tutorial is correct.

I also don't know why. Which shell are you using? Git bash, WSL, or something else?

I would assume the content is correct and works for everyone else, unless more information can be provided.
