Pull changes from github to local rails files

So I know how to update the repository with my files (the master one at least). And I know I can create a local branch with

$ git checkout -b [branch_name]

but that only creates it on the local git...how do i checkout a branch from the master on github and also overwrite files in my app directory, so I can update my project with the work of other people

Do you mean to ask, how to reset master on your local machine to that of the master on the origin?

If so:

Fetch all remote/origin changes and then hard reset your local master to origin/master's head:

$ git checkout master
$ git fetch --all
$ git reset --hard origin/master
