Sure, because `git clone` essentially does `git fetch` + `git checkout -b master origin/master` unless this behaviour modified by command- line options. Cloning does not automatically create tracking local branches for any fetched remote branches. So you just have to do something like git branch experimental origin/experimental git checkout experimental or, in one step, git checkout -b experimental origin/experimental To see what remote branches your local repository knows use git branch -r All branches (local and remote) can be viewed using git branch -a You can also use git remote show origin to view disposition of local branches with regard to remote ones (when offline, add "-n" option to not contact the remote repository). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
