The command “git clone -b” is used to clone a specific branch from a remote repository. The “-b” flag specifies the branch name that you want to clone.
For example, if you want to clone the “develop” branch of a remote repository, you can use the following command:
git clone -b develop https://github.com/username/repository.git
This will create a local copy of the repository with the “develop” branch checked out. If you don’t specify a branch name, Git will clone the default branch (usually “master”).
