Question

Basically i cannot see a branch on a different computer. I run

git branch -a

and on home computer I get

C:\learn ror\sample_app [filling-in-layout]> git branch -a
* filling-in-layout
  master
  static-pages
  remotes/origin/filling-in-layout
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/static-pages

On the work pc I get almost the same result, except the “filling-in-layout” branches(local and remote).

What should I do?

Answer 1

To share branches, you need to push your branches on the machines where they’re created, and setup remote tracking branches on the other machines:

Try this, on the machine that has the branch:

git push -u origin <branch name>

and this on the machine that doesn’t:

git fetch
git checkout <branch name>

Git will automatically set up a remote tracking branch named <branch name> if you try to check out a branch that only exists on a remote.
