Yes, I read that several times, but it went nowhere near answering the question. ;-) I didn't ever doubt that v2_3_branch is one of the branches in the repository, but that text provides no clue as to why these lines in the wiki do not do what is claimed: >>> To list all branches in repository: git branch <<< Please note the word "all". If it had instead said: >>> To list just the branches in your local repository: git branch To list all the branches in the remote repository: git branch -r <<< then finding all available branches would have been elucidated. OK, last night I only tried a "-a" on git-show-branch, and drowned in unwanted output. If I learn one thing per day, it's not wasted. > What you want for tlo_all_axes is: > git branch --track tlo_all_axes origin/tlo_all_axes > git checkout tlo_all_axes Many thanks! That is kind. >st all branches in repository: > > git branch Yes, I'd realised that "git branch" lists all branches in the local repository. BUT, the subject line of this thread is "Finding Michael G's branch in the repository" The question has always been aimed at discovering what branches are available for checkout. Thanks to Jeff, I now know that there are 43 to choose from. Thanks to you, I know that Michael G's tool table work is on the tlo_all_axes branch. The file I'm looking for looks like initool.cc. I'll poke around, and see what I can learn. (And maybe learn a little more about git while I'm at it. :) Many thanks for your help.
