Hi Guys,

I have a project with multiple branches. I've been pushing them to Github, and now someone else is working on the project. I need to pull their branches from GitHub. How to do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can simply track your remote branches explicitly, and a simple git pull will do just what you want.

$ git branch -f remote_branch_name origin/remote_branch_name
