Add Github Branch to VS Code

Question

I have just hired a developer to help me with a project. He created a brach of the project and added it to the github repository. I want to now add that branch to vs code. That is to say, I have the main branch synced with vs code, but not the new branch. I am wondering how I can add that new branch to my project folder on vs code.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Fetch all remotes:

git fetch --all

Switch the branch:

git checkout <branch>

Answer 2

You can do:

git checkout name_of_your_branch
