Question:  Do I need to create a branch myself before I can “Pull” the branch “Branch_Aug_20”?

 

If I don’t create any branch myself and just “Pull”, does a branch get created automatically and what will it be called?

 

OR

Will I get a local branch called “Branch_Aug_20”?

You just select branch “Branch_Aug_20” and pull,
It will create “Branch_Aug_20” locally.

Question:  If I first create a branch called “MyBranch1”, and then “Pull” “Branch_Aug_20”, does that “Pull” get associated with my branch called “MyBranch1”?

It will not be associated.
If you create branch “MyBranch1” it will be a new unrelated branch.
