Hello,

Is it possible change checkout another work tree remotely and refresh all files?

For example: git remote other checkout other-branch-x

Thanks!

Yes, either

   git checkout origin/other-branch

or if you want to work on your own local branch, starting from the
remote tree:

   git checkout -b my-branch origin/other-branch

and "git pull" (or "git pull --rebase") when you want to synchronize
with upstream.
