Question

When branch B does not exist locally, but is on the remote repo,

git branch
 * A

git branch -a
 * A
  remotes/origin/B

How can i pull B to my local repo? Should i git checkout B first? Should i pull, while on branch A?

Please help me clarify

Answer 1

If the local branch b does not exist, then git pull and then simply git checkout b and the branch will be created automatically.
Other options would include a git fetch origin/b
