How to track remote branch that is not mine git

So let's say someone made a remote branch called fooBranch

I looked through other posts and found

git fetch --all
git branch -a

and was able to see

remotes/origin/fooBranch

and I was able to check it out using

git checkout fooBranch

using this post How do I check out a remote Git branch? the problem is, I want to be able to track the branch and push changes to the branch.

I looked through tons of different posts to setup upstreams and tracking and they didn't work. such as this Make an existing Git branch track a remote branch? I use git 2.1.0, I already spent an hour trying to figure this out T_T, so any help would be appreciated.

Find all remote branches:

git fetch  

Create a local branch and track it (fetch/push)

git checkout -b fooBranch origin/fooBranch
