That is correct. The point is, I don't have a master branch uploaded to my repository. That is why it can't checkout anything. You have to do it manually. Try:
git checkout --track -b kde4-port origin/kde4-port (here I assume, the remote repo is named origin) You can list all remote branches with git branch -a > What am I doing wrong? Nothing. I assume, you have got another clone of the repository somewhere? It is possible to use different remote repositories in one local one. I have the following setup: one folder "~kde/src/ktechlab", where everything is stored. I created it by cloning my devel repository on sf.net. I suggest that every developer does the same. After that you can add remote repositories like this (I'll take your above example to fill in some values): git remote add j_ohny_b git://ktechlab.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/ktechlab/ktl-j_ohny_b After adding it, all branches show up in git branch -a Then you can checkout the branch containing the port of ktlproject, I started to port the project management. git checkout --track -b kde4-ktlproject j_ohny_b/kde4-ktlproject --track option means, you want to follow the remote branch, so you can do git pull on that branch, and it will pull j_ohny_b/kde4-ktlproject automatically. -b will create a new (local) branch called kde4-ktlproject I hope, I made clear, how things work. I know, branching can be quite confusing, but it's really worth the effort and it will get more easy if you do it yourself and see, what benefits you get from doing it. bye then julian
