Sync remote branches local
Raw
sync_remote_branch_local
Sync remote branch that local git repo is not aware of yet:
git remote show origin
If the remote branch you want to checkout is under "New remote branches" and not "Tracked remote branches" then you need to fetch them first:
git remote update
git fetch
Now it should work:
git checkout -b local-name origin/remote-name
