(disclaimer: newish to Linux)
"git checkout thx8411_sv305_2" gives error: "fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"
Checking the cloned-to-local repository (which seemed to copy complete to local w/o any errors) I found no branches at all using "git branch -a". I expected at least "master" returned from that command but that may be my ignorance of Linux and/or git(-stuff).
I should add (and for others new to this) I'm performing all of these remotely from within rPi4 Astroberry.
Given the above, a few questions (based on my limited understanding of Linux/git):

Are the instructions given based on the above scenario (all run within rPi and whatever native/stock config of git-related functionality)? (I ask b/c for instance you may have/be running these on a local laptop and/or with that/a version of git, etc).

Does your clone command also clone/bring over any branches? If not, should I have cloned your ("_2") branch?

Very sorry if I'm misunderstanding the basics, and please feel free to correct, thanks!
