How do I clone a specific Git branch?

 

To clone a specific Git branch, you can use the git clone command followed by the repository URL and then specify the branch you want to clone using the -b option. Here's how to do it with an example:

Suppose you want to clone a Git repository named "my-repo" and you want to clone the branch named "my-branch."

bash

git clone -b my-branch <repository_url>

Replace <repository_url> with the URL of the Git repository you want to clone.

Here's an example:

bash

git clone -b development https://github.com/user/my-repo.git

In this example, we are cloning the "development" branch of the "my-repo" repository from the specified URL. Make sure to replace https://github.com/user/my-repo.git with the actual URL of the Git repository you want to clone.

After running the git clone command, you'll have a local copy of the specified branch in your working directory.
