You seem to be right. I tried 'git checkout develop' and it switched to that branch. Afterwards 'git branch' showed
*develop master So now that I have two local branches, will 'git pull' update both of them, or only the current branch? - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: Erik de Bruin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2013 11:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: I'm confused about local vs. remote branches The way I understand it, if you do "git checkout develop", it will give you a local copy of the develop branch that tracks 'origin/develop'… but I'm also just learning git, so please correct me if I'm explaining this wrong.
