I might not understand your terminology, but 1) You can't clone just a single branch. Git always clones full repositories. (Well, except when you perform a so-called "shallow" clone and explicitly tell Git which branch to consider to be of interest. This is an advanced topic, to a degree.) 2) You can't fork a branch off the whole repository: any branch either starts being orhpan, which is really a special case, or it initially points to some existing commit -- 99.99% of all the normal cases. Considering this, what do you call "staging-testing" -- a repository or a branch in the cloned repository? > I will respond back later with what I think may be my best course of > action after further reading and thinking.
