If you're just trying to checkout the master branch, just run:
git checkout master
Immediately after a clone, your local master branch fully reflects the remote(i.e. origin/master) so you don't need to try and reference the remote when checking out
Question
I have cloned a remote Git server. but when I want to checkout it with the below code it give me error:
$ git checkout master origin/master
error: pathspec 'origin/master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Here's output of git branch:
$ git branch -r
origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/master
$ git branch
* master
How can I resolve it ?
