git clone

git clone

  • The clone command tells Git to fetch files from remote repository
  • “master” is the default name for a starting branch when you run git init
  • “origin” is the default name for a remote when you run git clone
  • If you run git clone -o newbrnach instead git clone, then you will have newbranch/master as your default remote branch
  • If you run git clone then you will have origin/master as your default branch

What to do?

  • Enter this command to fetch files from remote repositories

    git clone

  • Or you can change remote name to "myorigin" instead default "origin"

    git clone -o myorigin

  • To check your default branch name

    git branch -a
