As described in http://stackoverflow.com/a/9537923 (paraphrased below): > You need to create a local branch that tracks a remote branch. > The following command will create a local branch > tracking the remote branch of the same name. > When you push your changes the remote branch will be updated. > > `git checkout --track [remotename]/[branch]` > > This is a shorthand for `git checkout -b [branch] [remotename]/[branch]`. > > For git 1.7.2.3 and higher this is enough: `git checkout daves_branch` > > Note that with recent git versions, > **this will command not create a local branch and will put you in a 'detached HEAD' state.** > If you want a local branch, use the --track option. > Full details here: http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Remote-Branches#Tracking-Branches

`git checkout {{branch_name}}`

|
|
|
- Switch to an existing remote branch:
|
|
|
|
`git checkout --track {{remote_name}}/{{branch_name}}`
|
