git branch -l shows you local branches. You want remote branches, so try git branch -r. When you see the branch you want, you can automatically create and checkout a local branch tracking the given remote branch with git checkout .

For example, if your git branch -r shows a branch you want called origin/my-feature, just do

$ git checkout my-feature
