git checkout -b Stage1Video4
Where - b flag instructs the git to create the branch if not created before.

19,323 PointsAlright! If you downloaded the zip folder, you probably have to initialize git for the project and create everything from the scratch. However, if you clone the project and fetched the data, you should be in the same directory as your .git folder in order to perform any git related commands.

12,253 PointsI've just cloned the files from the GitHub website, I thought it should have all the branches in it.
