+# Checkout Previous Branch
+
+Git makes it easy to checkout the last branch you were on.
+
+```bash
+$ git checkout -
+```
+
+This is shorthand for `git checkout @{-1}` which is a way of referring to
+the previous (or last) branch you were on. You can use this trick to easily
+bounce back and forth between `master` and a feature branch.
