Ben Knoble" , Kristoffer Haugsbakk , Marc Branchaud , Phillip Wood , Harald Nordgren , Harald Nordgren From: Harald Nordgren If you want to fork your topic branch from the very latest of the tip of a branch your remote has, you would do: git fetch origin some-branch git checkout -b new_branch --track origin/some-branch Extend the "--track" option of "git checkout" and allow users to write git checkout -b new_branch --track=fetch origin/some-branch to (1) fetch 'some-branch' from the remote 'origin', updating the remote-tracking branch 'origin/some-branch', (2) arrange subsequent 'git pull' on 'new_branch' to interact with 'origin/some-branch' and (3) fork 'new_branch' from it. In the value of the '--track' option, 'fetch' can be combined with the existing 'direct' (default) and 'inherit' modes via a comma-separated list. Examples: git checkout -b new_branch --track=fetch,inherit some_local_branch git switch -c new_branch --track=fetch origin/some-branch When "fetch" is requested and is in / form, run "git fetch " before resolving the ref, so that other remote-tracking branches are left untouched. If is a bare remote name like "origin" (which resolves to that remote's default branch), "git fetch " is run instead, since the target branch is not known up front. Abort the checkout if the fetch fails. Signed-off-by: Harald Nordgren --- checkout: --track=fetch Rebased to fix merge conflict with master.
