GIT pulling or cloning repository only gets Master branch

The branches do exist but you can't see them

Try using this:

git branch -a

You'll now see the list of remote branches in origin e.g.

Output:

remotes/origin/tk_removes_call_centersremotes/origin/tk_warm_transfer_fixremotes/origin/update_README

and you can then

git checkout [any_individual_branch_name]

You can also get the same list with git branch -v --all which includes the most recent commit info, i.e.

git branch -v --all

output:

remotes/origin/tk_removes_call_centers     1478b14 re-adding call feedback workersremotes/origin/tk_warm_transfer_fix        94720c5 handling blank auto policyremotes/origin/update_README               a769b82 Update README

git branch -v (without --all) only shows branches you've worked on.When you use --all you see all the tracking branches in origin/

Do this list of commands:

git branch -a :

you will see the list of remote branches

git remote show origin

It will display all branches known by your local repository. If the branch you want to use is not in the list, run the command

git remote update

which updates the entire list of remote branches tracked by your local repository and then run

git fetch

which updates all tracked branches.

Then you can create your branch with the following checkout command:

git checkout -b your_branch_local_name origin/your_branch_remote_name
