1.How to use git to checkout remote branch?

First you need to fetch those new remote branches by using:

1
git fetch origin
1
show and see all the branches:
1
git branch -v -a

Then checkout the branch you are interested in:

for example: a remote branch named test and you want to checkout this branch by using the name mybranch

1
git checkout -b mybranch origin/test

If your Git version >= 1.6.6 you can simply by running:

1
git checkout test
