title: How Do I add a Git Command on Linux Chromebook
body: <p>I am taking a git class and am using a flavor of debian on my chromebook for the command line portion. We just learned the &quot;switch&quot; command, and it seems my version of git for whatever reason does not have this command.</p>
  <p>I know I can use &quot;checkout&quot; but it seems like &quot;switch&quot; is better and more intuitive to use. I can't find anything on the git docs or by researching to get this command in my version of git.</p>
  <p>I'd also like to note that if I try to update git, I get a message that says &quot;git is already the newest version&quot;</p>
