 **Assumptions**: You have the repo checked out and set up locally on your machine. You work on it regularly. 
 
 - Get the branch name that you want
-- Back in your terminal, run `git fetch` to load all the remote branch

+- I always check out `main` and update it at this point, just to be fresh 
+- Now run `git fetch` to load all the remote branches
 - Then run `git checkout <branch-name>`
 
 You are now in a new branch on your local machine that is a copy of the branch at the remote.
