Git and branches

ok so apparently to create a new git branch on the remote repository we need:

git push origin origin:refs/heads/sandbox
git fetch origin
git checkout --track -b sandbox origin/sandbox
git pull

Now if I want to switch back to the master branch I can just do

git checkout master

If I want to switch back to sandbox after going back to master, do I need

git checkout --track -b sandbox origin/sa开发者_StackOverflowndbox

or just

git checkout sandbox

git checkout sandbox will work. When you did the checkout -b sandbox origin/sandbox, you set up a local branch named sandbox which will track the remote origin/sandbox. To get the latest changes from upstream into your local copy, do git pull when on the sandbox branch.
