Yeah, git takes some getting used to (and sometimes it's too powerful for
it's own good)
One thing that I think is good to understand is that when you perform git
clone you get a copy of the entire repository, ALL of it, branches, history
etc. The remote repo (at github in this instance) is no longer needed
unless you want to update your local copy or upload changes to the remote
repository.

An alternative here is to skip the git branch -a command and go directly
for git checkout. On recent systems you get tab completion for what
branches are available to checkout, so just type git checkout and press tab
twice to see a list of all available branches and tags.
