| title: Cloning a Specific Branch in Git
 | |
| ---
 | |
| To clone a branch, enter the following into the terminal:  
 | |
| 
 | |
|     git clone -b <branch> <remote_repo>
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you only want to fetch the specified branch:  
 | |
| 
 | |
|     git clone -b <branch> --single-branch <remote_repo>
 | |
| 
 | |
| Here is an example of fetching the `staging` branch from FreeCodeCamp:  
 | |
| 
 | |
|     git clone -b staging https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp.git |
