How to Fetch from Another Developer

HOWTO: fetch commits and branches directly from another user

Perhaps a co-developer has been working on a new feature branch in their local repo, but has not yet pushed that branch to the central repo on the Github server:

• go to the root path of your git repo: $ cd $HOME/git/gpstk
• add a new remote for your co-developer's repo: $ git remote add doe /home/jdoe/dev/gpstk
• fetch all updates from your co-developer's repo: $ git fetch —all
• list all branches, looking for the new one: $ git branch -av
• checkout an un-pushed feature branch to inspect: $ git checkout unpushed_feature
