git-clone: Clone an existing repository only fetching a specific branch.

$ git clone --branch ${name} --single-branch ${remote_repository_location}

try on your machine

The git clone command in Git is used to create a copy of a remote repository on your local machine.

The --branch flag specifies the branch that you want to clone from the remote repository. The ${name} represents the name of the branch you want to clone. For example, if you want to clone the branch named "dev", you would replace ${name} with "dev".

The --single-branch flag is used to clone only one specific branch from the remote repository instead of cloning all the branches. This means that only the specified branch (the one specified with --branch) will be cloned.

${remote_repository_location} represents the location or URL of the remote repository you want to clone. This can be a web address or a local file path.

So, when you execute the command git clone --branch ${name} --single-branch ${remote_repository_location}, Git will clone only the specified branch (${name}) from the remote repository located at ${remote_repository_location} and create a local copy of that branch on your machine.
