This is what you should do now: $ cd lily-doc $ git checkout lily-doc Just for your interest: if you wanted only one branch, you could have done this: $ mkdir lily-doc $ cd lily-doc $ git init $ git remote add -f -t lily-doc origin git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git $ git checkout -b lily-doc origin/lily-doc Explanation: First initialise the git repository (the first 3 steps). Then add a "remote" nick name, i.e. a shortcut for git to know where you want to fetch from; "-f" says to fetch right away, and "-t lily-doc" says only to fetch the branch "lily-doc". The nick name is "origin", which has the special property that when you say "git pull", git pulls from "origin". The last line just says that you make a local branch named "lily-doc" from the remote branch "origin/lily-doc".
