Noob question: How do I clone the materialize branch?

[antilect]

Hi.
I wanna clone the materialize branch of this repo, but following the instructions, I get the bootstrap one.
After failing that, I tried this.

git clone -b materialize https://github.com/Differential/meteor-boilerplate.git testapp

Still end up with the bootstrap-version. Sorry about the noob question.

Solved by selecting the branch in the UI, and downloading zip, but cloning doesn't work which is what I'd really like to do :) Anyone?

I cloned the complete project without the "-b" switch. After the clone completed I then switched to the materialize branch, "git checkout materialize". It worked like a charm.

@antilect the approach you tried (i.e. "git clone -b materialize ...") successfully clones the materialize branch for me. I literally copied and pasted what you typed and had no issues. You could try making sure your version of git is up-to-date and making sure you have deleted the 'testapp' folder before attempting the clone. Git won't let me overwrite a target directory, but maybe yours isn't showing you the error?
