title: how can I do a get latest on a remote branch?
body: <p>I am trying to catchup with the latest code from a remote github branch. Suppose this branch is called myDevBranch how can I get this locally? I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git fetch myDevBranch 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This returns :</p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal: 'myDevBranch' does not appear to be a git repository
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Looks like a securuty issue or is there another way of getting the remote branch locally?</p>
