Git origin
origin is the default name of the remote repository. git clone sets it up for you, and most guides use it when you add a remote yourself.
Git keeps a copy of each branch on origin, named like origin/main. These remote-tracking branches show where the remote was the last time you fetched.

After a clone, list the remote-tracking branches with -r:
git branch -r
