What is the magit equivalent of git switch branch?

I'm particularly interested in the situation where you cloned a repo, and want to checkout a remote branch locally.

From the commandline that usually looks like:

$ git clone repo
$ cd repo
$ git branch -a
  remotes/origin/branch 
$ git switch branch
  Branch 'branch' set up to track remote branch 'branch' from 'origin'
  Switched to a new branch 'branch'

git emacs magit

Reviewing git commands? (2 comments)

Does the FAQ entry on reviewing & manually executing git commands help? It looks like magit will translate for you.

Type ! to open the command line invocation view. The ! ! chord invokes a git command at the root of your git repository. If you want to circumvent Magit’s interface, that is the command you should use.

If you want to review the actions it took, then type $ in the status window to reveal the commands Magit executed on your behalf.
