title: Why do some Git branch names have slashes in them?
body: <p>I'm reading this tutorial
  <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/syncing/git-fetch" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/syncing/git-fetch</a></p>
  <p>It contains an example where it adds a remote repo</p>
  <p><code>git remote add coworkers_repo git@bitbucket.org:coworker/coworkers_repo.git</code></p>
  <p>and then fetches a branch</p>
  <pre><code>git fetch coworkers_repo coworkers/feature_branch
  fetching coworkers/feature_branch
  </code></pre>
  <p>In this last command, why the name of the branch name is &quot;coworkers/feature_branch&quot; has a forward slash? Shouldn't the branch be a string of characters such as &quot;coworkers&quot; or &quot;feature_branch&quot;? Or is there anything I'm missing?</p>
