There are three ways of creating a new branch feature which tracks the remote branch origin/feature:

• git checkout --track -b feature origin/feature,
• git checkout -t origin/feature,
• git checkout feature - assuming that there is no local feature branch and there is only one remote with the feature branch.

To set upstream to track the remote branch - type:

• git branch --set-upstream-to=<remote>/<branch> <branch>
• git branch -u <remote>/<branch> <branch>

where:

• <remote> can be: origin, develop or the one created by user,
• <branch> is user’s branch to track on remote.

To verify which remote branches your local branches are tracking:

• git branch -vv
