Rather than attempting to document all of git on our website (git has
about 250000 words of documentation included, not to mention several books
and innumerable tutorials and guides just a google away), we hope that
people using git will refer to those fine resources.
Your question is very well answered by the git user manual (probably better
than I could have answered it):
Examining branches from a remote repository
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "master" branch that was created at the time you cloned is a copy of
the HEAD in the repository that you cloned from. That repository may also
have had other branches, though, and your local repository keeps branches
which track each of those remote branches, which you can view using the
"-r" option to git-branch(1):
$ git branch -r
origin/HEAD
origin/html
origin/maint
origin/man
origin/master
origin/next
origin/pu
origin/todo
You cannot check out these remote-tracking branches, but you can examine
them on a branch of your own, just as you would a tag:
$ git checkout -b my-todo-copy origin/todo
Note that the name "origin" is just the name that git uses by default to
refer to the repository that you cloned from.
