[gits] Two Branches, same name
In case anybody wants to enlighten me...
Eric> git remote add kdownie git-public.flux.utah.edu:/blah/blah/blah
Eric>
Eric> # This fetches a *lot* of branches...
Eric> git fetch kdownie
The command that one really wants here is
git fetch kdownie refs/heads/aptui:refs/remotes/kdownie/aptui
But that is bare-bones and confusing. Is there an efficinet, non-confusing way
of doing the above? Or better yet, how can I make the command below work
without doing an explicit "git fetch"?
Eric> # Make a branch "kaptui", tracking remote "kdownie/aptui", and
Eric> # switch to the "kaptui" branch.
Eric>
Eric> git checkout -b kaptui kdownie/aptui
Eric.
