|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
To clone a remote git repository, enter the following into the terminal:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Note: Make sure you are in a root folder e.g. `webdev` instead of a project specific folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git clone <remote_repo>
|
||
|
|
cd <remote_repo>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
List your branches using these commands:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git branch // Lists local branches
|
||
|
|
git branch -a // Lists local and remote branches
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To checkout a remote branch locally:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git checkout <branch>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is an example of fetching the remote `master` branch from FreeCodeCamp:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp.git
|
||
|
|
cd FreeCodeCamp
|
||
|
|
git checkout master
