Pushed to a new repo but need an old repo's branch
For my school project I cloned from our lecturers repository and pushed it to my own repository so I could work on it and save it to use on other machines.
One of our tasks is to switch to a new branch within the repository. Unfortunately my repository didn't seem to get the branch when cloning. (It got other branches just not the one I need).
Is there a way to pull from my lecturers repository and push to my repository without damaging anything?
EDIT: I've solved the problem.
In your IDE, go to clone a new repo and select only the branches you need.
Once it has been cloned you can Push the new branch into your own repo. Then pull from your repo for the new branch.

Hi Daniel. The branch that you are talking about, was it getting tracked remotely ? or was it present just locally ?

Hi, I believe it was being tracked remotely. I got another branch from the 'tracking remotly' section of eclipse and I've been instructed to get the new branch from the same place. Thanks

if I understood your question correctly, you can do this to just clone a branch
git clone -b <branch> <remote_repo>
#add a new origin
git remote add new_origin git@theUrlToNewRepo
#then push to new origin
git push -u new_origin <branch>
OR to checkout a new branch on your current repo locally:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
eg: git checkout -b myBranch

Hi Daniel. The branch that you are talking about, was it getting tracked remotely ? or was it present just locally ?
