I can't see the new branch that was created in the other remote.

Around 2:15 in the video, the new branch that was created in one remote is seen in the other remote without any steps to "pull" the new branch. I looked online and git pull from remote. Also tried fetch origin. I can see the new branch in the origin repo, but not on the other remote that was created. Thanks in advance.

Hi --

I did a quick re-watch of the video, and I only saw two repos. They're both on the same system, but the teacher is treating one as the local and the other as the remote (named the standard "origin") to teach us about working with remote repos.

He creates a branch on the local one, and he pushes that branch to the remote. To show that his push worked, he changes directories to the remote one and lists the contents. The branch he pushed is there.

If you think something different happened, please let me know. Maybe we can figure out where the disconnect is!

Best,

Laura
