My Notes on Git

December 4, 2023 - Reading time: ~1 minute

Stuff I keep forgetting

Work on a remote branch

1. git fetch <origin> <remote_branch>
2. git checkout -b <local_branch_name> <origin>/<remote_branch>
   1. can also be: git checkout <remote_branch>

Track a remote branch

1. git checkout -b <local_branch> # if no local created yet
2. git branch -u <origin>/<remote_branch>

Will update this as needed.
