Once the repository is downloaded, we can check the branch by running these commands:
Click to Copy
cd sentry-cligit status
We should receive the following output:
Click to Copy

In the background, git clone will fetch all the repository’s branches and then check out the one we’ve specified. If we only want to fetch one branch, we can add the flag --single-branch to our git clone command.
Fetch all of the branches from the repository. This also downloads all of the required commits and files from the other repository. Same as the above command, but only fetch the specified branch.
The git clone command creates a local copy of a repository from a remote source like GitHub. By default, it clones into a folder named after the repository in your current directory. However, you can specify any local folder as the destination.
From the list of repositories, click the repository you want to clone. To select the local directory into which you want to clone the repository, next to the "Local Path" field, click Choose... and navigate to the directory. At the bottom of the "Clone a Repository" window, click Clone.
Once created you can then use git checkout new_branch to switch to that branch. Additionally, The git checkout command accepts a -b argument that acts as a convenience method which will create the new branch and immediately switch to it.
By default, git clone will clone the repository's default branch (typically named main ). However, if you want to work with a different branch, a feature branch for example, you'll need to specify that branch during the clone operation. -b <branch-name> : This tells Git which branch you want to clone.
On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository. From the file tree view on the left, select the branch dropdown menu, then click View all branches. You can also find the branch dropdown menu at the top of the integrated file editor.
Step 1: Ensure that you have checked out the branch from which you want to create the new branch. You can use the git checkout command to switch to the branch. Step 2: Use the git branch command to create a new branch. Step 3: Switch to the new branch using the git checkout command.
