英文:

Git checkout - prefer branch over tag

问题

Doing git checkout foo 会优先检出标签，并使仓库处于分离头状态。要告诉Git我想要检出分支而不是标签，您可以使用以下命令：

git checkout refs/heads/foo

不过，您提到这会出现错误："pathspec did not match any files(s) known to git"。这可能是因为您的本地仓库没有与该分支关联。确保您的本地仓库已经同步了分支信息。

另外，您可以尝试以下命令：

git switch refs/remotes/origin/foo

但是，这也可能导致错误："fatal: a branch is expected, got remote branch"。这是因为这个分支在远程（GitHub）上，而不在本地。您需要先克隆或拉取该分支到本地，然后再进行检出。

英文:

Suppose there is a tag and a branch with identical names.

Doing git checkout foo prefers to check out the tag, and leaves the repo in a detached head state.

How do I tel git that I want to check out the branch not the tag?

An advice I found here https://groups.google.com/g/git-users/c/FfzGmqj6sNQ is to use git checkout refs/heads/foo but for me this gives an error: "pathspec did not match any files(s) known to git".

Here are my refs:

some_hash1 refs/remotes/origin/foo
some_hash2 refs/tags/foo

As you can see there is no refs/heads/foo.

Tried "git switch refs/remotes/origin/foo" and this errors out too: "fatal: a branch is expected, got remote branch".

I'm running git 2.40.0

The branch "foo" is there in GitHub web UI.

Found answer here:

git checkout --track origin/foo

After this git show-ref shows the local branch foo under refs/heads:

$ git show-ref | grep foo
some_hash1 refs/heads/foo
some_hash1 refs/remotes/origin/foo
some_hash2 refs/tags/foo
