git - On a new machine, how do I fetch an existing branch? -


i'm not new git, i'm not gitmaster.

i have existing branch on git account, pull, when :

git checkout previously_created_branch 

i get..

error: pathspec 'previously_created_branch' did not match file(s) known git. 

anyone know how accomplish this?

git must know want branch

first fetch changes remote repository:

git fetch origin 

then can check out with

git checkout -t origin/previously_created_branch 

this create local branch of same name, tracks remote branch
