How do I check out a remote Git branch?

Comment

In this case, you probably want to create a local test branch which is tracking the remote test branch:

$ git branch test origin/test
In earlier versions of git, you needed an explicit --track option, but that is the default now when you are branching off a remote branch.

To create the local branch and switch to it, use:

$ git checkout -b test origin/test
