Git branch command -- Need for advice

Hello

Herby has opened this branch

    https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/tree/requirejs-optimizer

It includes the grunt load command for the requirejs-optimizer. Now it
is left with filling in the right configuration object into the
gruntfile.

I would like to get a local branch of this so that I can work on it
and that I can issue pull request into this branch.

I do

    git fetch upstream

    git branch

lists local branches



    git branch -a

lists all branches (i.e. it includes the ones from upstream and in particular
   upstream/requirejs-optimizer


I can switch to it with

    git checkout upstream/requirejs-optimizer

but probably that is not what I should do because I cannot commit to it? Right?

What is the proper sequence of commands to proceed in this matter?

Thank you for the answer in advance.

Hannes

after you issued the previous command, do

  git checkout -b requirejs-optimizer

It creates branch from actual position.
