You are right, I am sorry. You dedicated quite some time, but it seemed so overwhelming that I just kept this bit of information in my memory: I wrote ,---- | git branch -a | * main | remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/main | remotes/origin/feature | remotes/origin/main `---- And you final answer was ,---- | | git checkout feature `---- I admit I even forgot that had an extended thread on the topic. That your answer cannot be the last word on this issue I realized yesterday. Suppose I have to remotes Like ,---- | git branch -a | * master | remotes/bitbucket/HEAD -> bitbucket/main | remotes/bitbucket/feature | remotes/bitbucket/master `---- Then git checkout feature Can not be the answer. But I think it is better before you even answer, that I go over the thread and try to sort it out for myself (as far as I can get). Because I need to understand that structure if I want deal with pull-requests and fork (via the command line and emacs without magit). For sure tomorrow after some testing I will run into other problems, and will send another message. > 1.
