Git clone a branch, not master

Question

I use Git Bash for bitbucket. I have created a bunch and I pushed some commits, other people pushed commits in master as excepted. Now I am at different machine. I want to clone or download the solution of the latest commit of my branch and not the master? How can I do that?

Answer 1

I think you are looking for the --branch option to git clone , which allows you to specify which branch is initially checked out in the cloned repository.

git clone --branch mybranch $URL/foo

is roughly equivalent to

git clone $URL/foo
cd foo
git checkout mybranch
cd ..

Answer 2

if you use git you can do that easily with git clone -b <name_of_branch> <URL_Repository> , if you want to pull do git pull origin <name_of_branch> <URL_Repository> .

You can use below solution:-

Step1: Clone the repo by using below command following by credentials.

git clone <Repository URL>

Step 2: checkout the branch and pull the latest code from there.

git checkout -b <your origin branch>

Step 3: pull the latest code

git pull origin <your origin branch name where latest code is available>
