Get the latest code from a git remote branch using powershell command

Question

Is there a simple command in windows powershell to get the latest code from a git remote repository? I have already installed git posh

Note:

1. New to both git and powershell.
2. I am not creating a repository. I just want to get the code from a remote branch so that I want to build using ms build tool in the next step of the powershell script.

You can use git clone

git clone <http or ssh address for the repository>

If you have already cloned the repo, you need to checkout the branch then pull it.

git checkout <branch name>
git pull

If you have no branches available to checkout from remote:

git fetch origin

And see what branches are available to checkout with:

git checkout -v -a
