Use the following command to checkout recent branch:
<pre><code class="lang-shell">git checkout -
</code></pre>
It's basically an alias for:
<pre><code class="lang-shell">git checkout @{-1}
</code></pre>
You can checkout any previous branch, by replacing <code>N</code> with the N-th last branch that was checked out.
<pre><code class="lang-bash">git checkout @{-N}
</code></pre>
