Syncing branches from Github to local repo in VS2019

I have a project that I committed to GitHub and then went to the site and manually created three branches there - developers, master, and testers. I can see these branches online.

enter image description here

When I open this solution from my local repo, these branches don't show up in VS2019.

enter image description here

I have tried git clone <url> from the project folder as well as downloading a zip of the entire project from GitHub to my local folder, but they still don't show the developers and testers branches. What am I missing in Visual Studio to show these branches?

Took a while, but I think I figured it out...go to the 'Synchronization' tab, and then click the Fetch command to pull everything back down.

In the branches folder you will see all origin branches.

Now you can right click and choose 'New local branch from' to enter the branch name and track to origin.
