When you clone a repository, Git only creates a branch corresponding to the remote's master. For each other branch that exists at the remote that you wish to work on locally, you need to create a local branch to track the remote branch. You can do this with:
git-checkout --track -b mybranch origin/mybranch
Subsequently, when you work on branch mybranch, git pull will know to acquire and merge changes from the specified remote branch.
What about "git push"?
ReplyDeleteYes. When you are on your tracking branch, "git push" will push changes back to the remote branch being tracked.
