 === Checking out a particular branch ===
 
-The {{{clone}}} operation above leaves the individual libraries in the {{{modular-boost}}} local repository in a detached state that is not very useful and can result in data loss. So the first thing you want to do is switch a library you want to modify to the branch you want to work on. For example, if you want to do some maintenance on the {{{develop}}} branch of my-lib, do this:

 {{{
-cd libs/my-lib
-git checkout develop
+cd modular-boost/libs/my-lib
+git checkout -B develop remotes/origin/develop
 }}}

+Be sure to use {{{git checkout}}} as shown. If you just did {{{git checkout develop}}} you would get a local branch that did not track the remote.

+You are now ready to start regular maintenance!
