Cloning specific branch

Question

I am new to git version control and I dont know how to clone / pull a specific branch of a repo . Trying to get the branch master of the project, but it defaults to

Answer 1

a git repository has several branches. Each branch follows a development line, and it has its origin in another branch at some point in time (except the first branch, typically called master, that it starts as the default branch until someone changes, what almost never happens)

If you are new with git, remember those 2 fundamentals. Now, you just need to clone the repository, and it will be in some branch. if the branch is the one you are looking for, awesome. If not, you just need to change to the other branch - this is called checkout. Just type git checkout

In some cases you want to get updates for a specific branch. Just do git pull origin and it will 'download' the new commits (changes). If you didn't do any changes, it should go easy. If you also introduced changes on that branches, conflicts may appear. let me know if you need more info on this case also
