I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere in a popular Git project the branches had a pattern like "feature/xyz".
However when I try to create a branch with the slash character, I get an error:
$ git branch foo/bar
error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/labs/feature: Not a directory
fatal: Failed to lock ref for update: Not a directory
Same problem for (my initial attempt):
$ git checkout -b foo/bar
How does one create a branch in Git with the slash character?
