🎋 Fetch remote Git branches

After having added a new remote to my local git repository via git remote add other-remote [email protected]:user/other-repo I wanted to checkout one of the branches from that remote.

I initially tried git checkout -b local/branch-name other-remote/feature/branch and got an error. The problem with trying to do this is there is no information locally about what the newly added remote has. In order to rectify this I ran git fetch other-remote. The information about that remote gets downloaded and I am now able to checkout branches from my newly added remote.
