I have a problem with git-gui and git-bash in Windows.

  1. Clone existing repository in git-gui
  2. Branch->Checkout->Tracking Branch in git-gui
  3. Go to my repo in git-bash
  4. “git branch” in git-bash shows “master”

I was expecting to see my branch instead of “master”. Any idea? What did I miss?

    As mention in git gui branch management , you need two steps in order to use a tracking branch.

    Choosing a branch in “Tracking Branch” isn’t enough.
    You need to create it as well, and switch to it.

    add tracking branch
