----------------------+------------------------------------------
 Older git versions don't support `--branch`, this is on the master's git
 source step.

 Before using, a check should be made against the version and provider
 workarounds.

 ```
 git clone [project_url] [directory]
 cd [directory]
 git checkout --track origin/[existing_branch_name] -b
 [tracking_branch_name]
 ```
