Create several git branches in one go

If I am in master branch and want to create another branch named myAwesomeBranch but without checking out to it, I do:

git branch myAwesomeBranch

I would like to create several branches in one command from master, is that possible?

I tried with:

git branch myAwesomeBranch1 myAwesomeBranch2 myAwesomeBranch3

But it didn't work.

Alternatively, you can create multiple branches in one line (with multiple commands), by using ";"

git branch myAwesomeBranch1; git branch myAwesomeBranch2; git branch myAwesomeBranch3

Git doesn't support git branch <multiple branches>

the right way to do it is to use a shell script (single line will do it as well)

# loop over the branch list you wish to create
for branchName in {b1,b2,b3}; 

    # Create the branch
    do git branch $branchName; 

    # Set the upstream so you will be able to push the branch to the remote
    git branch --track $branchName origin/$branchName

done
