Basically that's it. Like the link above says, `git clone` is supposed to do that (it's not a bug, it's a feature!). In my opinion not really self-explanatory, so it might result in some confusion.
Small edit: So I found out how it works in Sublime, but still struggling to repeat the same in Atom.
Small edit: So I found out how it works in Sublime (both on Linux and Windows), but still struggling to repeat the same in Atom. I'm able to pull all the branches and checkout the branch I want in GitBash, but then getting the branch into Atom appears to be diffult.
Small edit-edit: Okay, I think I figured out how it works in Atom. So after doing what I described in the previous paragraph, one has to go to the braching selection, go to `New Branch`, type in the same name of the branch and then fetch said branch with Right-click and fetch. I'm not sure if this is the intended way, but it works. To be honest, doing it in Sublime was much more intuitive.
### Updates (23.3.20)
In other news, I'm still having some trouble with my touchpad, so I started disabling it via Terminal (just Linux things). Which works pretty well as I'm slowly getting more adapt to navigating with my keyboard.
I'm slowly beginning to really like Ubuntu, even though it at times can be frustrating. It's a love-hate relationship. The great thing about Linux is: it does what you tell it to do. The bad thing about Linux is: it does what you tell it to do. I think as soon as I'm settled in with all the software I need and am comfortable with everything, it'll be a very enjoyable experience working on Linux. What I really need to get into are the different file-types on Linux. I'm sometimes not sure how to do installations or what to do with other files. But I think this will improve over time.
### (26.3.20)
So, I like Linux. Outside the whole Git/Atom/coding stuff it's just really nice to work with. Opening stuff with one click (for example in Files) is so comfortable. Most software I use also remembers which tabs I had open after I restarted the computer. Which saves me some thoughts everytime I have to restart. After finding the right software (PDF, text editor etc.) for my needs everything works well, without having to wait for features to load which I don't even use. It's quick, intuitive, and visually appealing. So after about 1.5 weeks in quarantine and with Linux I definitely recommend Linux for someone who want to improve their workflow. It has a steep learning curve, but after a few weeks it just feels nice to work. Like I already said, it does what you tell it to do. That's a nice thing and a bad thing.
I'm currently thinking about and preparing to write either already my current papers or my DigiZeit paper in LaTeX. My expectation is that the learning experience is going to be similar, but the nerves not lost over Word formatting will be worth it.
Let's see how that'll go, I'm going to keep updating this .md or a separate one. Maybe even in a LaTeX based PDF file.
