I have created a new Git repository on Visual Studio online. I have cloned on my computer and I have added it a project. After that, I have created a new branch called develop on Visual Studio online, and I have tried to check it out creating a new local branch but it doesn't appear on Team Explorer.

This is my Visual Studio online: enter image description here

And this is Visual Studio 2015 Team Explorer: enter image description here

Why develop branch doesn't appear on Team Explorer?

You can now do this in Visual Studio by going to the Synchronisation tab (Sync in the Team drop down menu) and clicking Fetch at the top.

Choose Sync from the menu, hit fetch
