on a branch of your own, just as you would for a tag:
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------
|
||||
$ git checkout -b my-todo-copy origin/todo
|
||||
------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can also check out "origin/todo" directly to examine it or
|
||||
write a one-off patch. See <<detached-head,detached head>>.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the name "origin" is just the name that git uses by default
|
||||
to refer to the repository that you cloned from.
