 === 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 {{{mylib}}}, do this:
 
 {{{
-cd modular-boost/libs/my-lib
-git checkout -B develop remotes/origin/develop
+cd modular-boost/libs/mylib
+git checkout develop
+git branch -vv
+git pull
 }}}
 
-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.
+{{{git branch -vv}}} is just to reassure yourself you are tracking the remote repo. If not, you have some problem, such as a very old version git.
 
-You are now ready to start regular maintenance!
+{{{git pull}} ensures the checkout is up to date.
