Suppose you have remote repository https://github.com/user/repository.git with master branch. To create a new local branch, you have to follow the steps below:

Create a new directory and initialize git repository.

mkdir repo
cd repo
git init

Add remote repository.

git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repository.git

Pull files from remote repository.

git pull origin master

Create a new branch.

git branch test

Switch to new branch.

git checkout test

Start modifying your new branch, do some commits, etc.

To push to your remote repository, just run:

git push -u origin test
