I did a different experiment, and cloned a repository that has 3 branches on remote, after cloning git branch -a Tells me * main remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/main remotes/origin/bug-fix remotes/origin/feature remotes/origin/main After git checkout feature * feature main remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/main remotes/origin/bug-fix remotes/origin/feature remotes/origin/main And after git checkout bug-fix * bug-fix feature main remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/main remotes/origin/bug-fix remotes/origin/feature remotes/origin/main Now the last listing is what I would expect as a default behavior. I obviously downloaded all the branches git branch -a Shows me these branches indicating with * which is checkout. So why on earth can't this be the behavior after cloning, or is there any option in cloning that would lead to all branches listed, if so, why isn't this the default behavior? regards -- Warning: Content may be disturbing to some audiences I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against the Ukraine.
