Why first assigning $1 to *Branch and, only after, testing that $1 is not empty?

Wouldn't logic require testing $1 first, and only then assigning after?

I update the script to take into account existing local branches, and also updated to replace git checkout with git switch as that is the current standard.

#!/bin/sh

# Git Switch With Changes (Staged and Unstaged, but not Untracked)

BranchName=$1

if [ ! -z "$BranchName" ]
then
	if [ $(git branch -l | grep $BranchName) ]
	then
  		git stash
  		git switch $BranchName
  		git stash pop
	else 
		git stash
		git switch -c $BranchName
		git stash pop
	fi
else
  echo "Branch name is not specified"
fi
