You need use $git branch -a show all remote branch， and you can see remotes/origin/oneplus/QC8998_N_7.1 then $git checkout remotes/origin/oneplus/QC8998_N_7.1 -b NameYouWant now you can see the code. Maybe it's very easy to find the answer. XD. Find from stackoverflow

@aaronqiuchiu
I git clone the code done, git notice me that error remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout, and use ls -l only can see the .git and no code .So I find this solution to checkout the code.

Usually when I git clone the git done from github , the code will show in dir. but this not show in dir, must manual use $git checkout remotes/origin/oneplus/QC8998_N_7.1 -b NameYouWant to checkouot the code.

Is there something wrong? Thanks.
