Difference between ways of creating branches in git

Question

Can anybody explain me about the difference between following two procedures:

1. Creating a new branch from existing one in git & then Editing it followed by committing.
2. Editing an existing branch & creating new branch before committing it & commit the changes in newly created branch.

M sure they are different, but exactly how, would like to find out.

Answer 1

There is no difference in the end result.

Changes which are in the working directory and changes staged in the index do not belong to a branch. When you create and switch to a new branch, your uncommitted changes are not touched.
