  • What does ‘*remote branch repository*’ mean? If you deleted `.git` you can use `git init` and `git remote add`. If you deleted the whole repo, just clone again. – Biffen Feb 11 '16 at 13:40

  • @dkinzer I think you might have misunderstood. Read the first sentence of the question again. – Biffen Feb 11 '16 at 13:46
  • @Biffen: ...hmm, it's still a duplicate imho: http://stackoverflow.com/q/651038/256854 – dkinzer Feb 11 '16 at 13:54
  • @dkinzer *Maybe* of that second one. The question is too unclear to know. – Biffen Feb 11 '16 at 13:56

If you still have the git repo:

Just do

git fetch origin

followed by.

git checkout -b <branch> origin/branch

If you've deleted the git repository altogether Then reclone the repository:

git clone <repository-address>

Then, follow the steps above to get other branches if they didn't get pulled in automatically.

What to do?

  1. Clone the repo again

  2. Checkout the desired branches

    # Clone the repo
git clone <url>

# Checkout the desired branch
git checkout <branch name>

If you still have the .git folder and you did not remove it - read how to get your code back here:
