I have a project hosted on GitHub. I created a branch on one computer, then pushed my changes to github with
我在GitHub上有一个项目。我在一台计算机上创建了一个分支，然后将我的更改推送到github
git push origin branch-name
Now I am on a different computer, and I want to download that branch. So I tried:
现在我在一台不同的电脑上，我想下载那个分支。所以我试着:
git pull origin branch-name
...but all this did was overwrite my master branch with the changes in my new branch.
…但这一切所做的只是用我的新分支的变化覆盖我的主分支。
What do I need to do to properly pull my remote branch?
我需要做什么来正确地拉动我的远程分支?

Thanks to a related question, I found out that that I need to "checkout" the remote branch as a new local branch, and specify a new local branch name.
由于一个相关的问题，我发现我需要将远程分支作为一个新的本地分支“签出”，并指定一个新的本地分支名称。
git checkout -b newlocalbranchname origin/branch-name
Or you can do:
或者你可以做的:
git checkout -t origin/branch-name
The latter will create a branch that is also set to track the remote branch.
后者将创建一个分支，该分支也被设置为跟踪远程分支。
Update: It's been 5 years since I originally posted this question. I've learned a lot and git has improved since then. My usual workflow is a little different now.
更新:我最初发布这个问题已经5年了。我学到了很多，从那以后git也有所改进。我通常的工作流程有点不同。
If I want to fetch the remote branches, I simply run:
如果我想获取远程分支，我只需运行:
git pull
This will fetch all of the remote branches and merge the current branch. It will display an output that looks something like this:
这将获取所有远程分支并合并当前分支。它将显示如下输出:
From github.com:andrewhavens/example-project
dbd07ad..4316d29 master -> origin/master
* [new branch] production -> origin/production
* [new branch] my-bugfix-branch -> origin/my-bugfix-branch
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Fast-forwarded master to 4316d296c55ac2e13992a22161fc327944bcf5b8.
Now git knows about my new my-bugfix-branch. To switch to this branch, I can simply run:
现在git知道了我新的my-bugfix分支。切换到这个分支，我可以简单地运行:
git checkout my-bugfix-branch
Normally, I would need to create the branch before I could check it out, but in newer versions of git, it's smart enough to know that you want to checkout a local copy of this remote branch.
通常，在检出分支之前，我需要创建分支，但是在新版本的git中，知道您想要检出这个远程分支的本地副本就足够聪明了。

For any Git newbies like me, here are some steps you could follow to download a remote repository, and then switch to the branch that you want to view. They probably abuse Git in some way, but it did the job for me! :-)
对于像我这样的Git新手，以下是下载远程存储库并切换到要查看的分支的一些步骤。他们可能在某种程度上滥用了Git，但是它为我做了这个工作!:-)
Clone the repository you want to download the code for (in this example I've picked the LRResty project on Github):
克隆您想要下载代码的存储库(在这个示例中，我选择了Github上的LRResty项目):
$ git clone https://github.com/lukeredpath/LRResty.git
$ cd LRResty
Check what branch you are using at this point (it should be the master branch):
检查您现在使用的是哪个分支(应该是主分支):
$ git branch
* master
Check out the branch you want, in my case it is called 'arcified':
看看你想要的分支，在我的例子中它被称为“arcified”:
$ git checkout -b arcified origin/arcified
Branch arcified set up to track remote branch arcified from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'arcified'
Confirm you are now using the branch you wanted:
确认您正在使用您想要的分支:
$ git branch
* arcified
master
If you want to update the code again later, run git pull:
如果您希望稍后再次更新代码，请运行git pull:
$ git pull
Already up-to-date.

You could use git remote like:
您可以使用git remote，比如:
git fetch origin
and then setup a local branch to track the remote branch like below:
然后设置一个本地分支来跟踪远程分支，如下所示:
git branch --track [local-branch-name] origin/remote-branch-name
You would now have the contents of the remote github branch in local-branch-name.
现在，您将拥有远程github分支的本地分支名称的内容。
You could switch to that local-branch-name and start work:
您可以切换到本地分支名称并开始工作:
git checkout [local-branch-name]
