Git: Not able to checkout after fetch

Sometimes, it happens that after fetching a branch, you still not able to checkout the newly fetched branch. The branch is likely present in more than one remote. (You can confirm this with git branch --list --remotes '*/feature-branch'.) git checkout only creates branches like that if they’re unambiguous. From git-checkout(1):

If <branch> is not found but there does exist a tracking branch in exactly one remote (call it <remote>) with a matching name, treat as equivalent to

$ git checkout -b <branch> --track <remote>/<branch>

So you’ll need to do that instead:

git checkout -b feature-branch --track origin/feature-branch
