Pull new branch from repository

Peter M_zrw18f

The documentation has me asking more questions than providing answers.

What are the steps to pull a new remote  branch that my developer created, from the remote repository, if the branch does not exist locally? 

I don't ever see an instance where the branch should be merged with the master, so I'd like to keep the branches separate locally.

If I try to create a new branch locally, I am presented wiith Options for "commit" that are not clear to me:  Working Copy Parent, or Specified Commit.

Thanks

Peter

Are you using Command Prompt / PowerShell or an IDE (e.g. Visual Studio Code)? The following should get your branch if you are using the command prompt and you are in the folder for the git repository...

git fetch
