-If you want a different branch then the currently selected (master) then you will need to create a local branch and switch to it.
+If you want to use a different branch than the default selected (''master'') then you will need to create a local copy of the remote branch. In this example we create branch '1.3-stable' as a local copy of the remote branch 'origin/1.3-stable' and switch to it:
 
-'''Stable:'''
 {{{
 git checkout -b 1.3-stable origin/1.3-stable
 }}}
 
-'''Development:'''
+To switch between your local branches use the following commands:
+
+ '''Development:'''
 {{{
 git checkout master
 }}}
+
+ '''Stable:'''
+{{{
+git checkout 1.3-stable
+}}}
+
+Either of these commands will show the current branch you are using:
+
+{{{
+git branch
+git status
+}}}
