Question

I have a local system where i work (windows) and commit changes and a production server (ubuntu) where i pull the changes.

I create a new branch when i have major changes on the code. Last branch is 0.9.1

I pull on the server with:

sudo git pull [e-mail]:myproject.git 0.9.1

however, i wanted to roll back to a previous branch (0.9) and can only see this when i do a branch -a:

* master
  remotes/origin/0.1
  remotes/origin/0.2
  remotes/origin/0.3
  remotes/origin/0.4
  remotes/origin/0.5
  remotes/origin/0.6
  remotes/origin/0.7
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/master

on my local machine i use git gui and I can see the branch 0.9 (and 0.8 and 0.9.1)
How come i cannot see it on the server?

Thanks

You should checkout a local branch try this instead of a git pull:

git checkout -b 0.9.1

After that, do your work then push the changes to the remote:

git push origin 0.9.1

Off topic, you should consider tags instead of branches for major releases.
