How to Checkout Remote Git Branch

Written by Rahul, Updated on October 17, 2019

This tutorial will help you to check out a remote git branch that is not available on the local git repository. Use command git branch to list local branches available.

Git Checkout Remote Branch

Now use command git branch -a to list all available branches on local and remote git repository. After that run command git fetch command to update your remote-tracking branches under refs/remotes//. Now checkout new branch to your local system using git checkout branch_name.

git fetch
git checkout staging

Have Multiple Remotes ?

If you are using multiples remotes, you have to specify remote name with remote branch name like below command
