<p>This tutorial will help you to clone a specific git branch from the remote git repository via command line.</p>



<h2>Syntax:</h2>



<p>You need to specify the branch name with&nbsp;<strong>-b</strong>&nbsp;command switch. Here is the syntax of the command to clone the specific git branch.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">git clone -b &lt;BRANCH_NAME&gt;  &lt;GIT_REMOTE_URL&gt;
</pre>



<h2>Example:</h2>



<p>The following command will clone the branch 5.1-branch from the WordPress git repository.</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">git clone <strong>-b 5.1-branch</strong> https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress.git
</pre>



<p>The above command clones only the specific branch but fetches the details of other branches. You can view all branches details with command&nbsp;<code>git branch -a</code>.</p>



<p>You can use&nbsp;<code>--single-branch</code>&nbsp;to prevent fetching details of other branches like below:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">git clone -b 5.1-branch <strong>--single-branch</strong> https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress.git
</pre>



<p>All done. You can view the currently active branch by running the command:</p>



<pre class="wp-block-preformatted">git branch</pre>
