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'
