How can I use the Jenkins Git plugin to check out a specific branch? I have installed Jenkins and I use the GIT plugin to clone a repository. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to check out a remote branch someone published, you first have to use git fetch . This command downloads the references from your remote repository to your local machine, including the reference to the remote branch. Now all you need to do is use git checkout <remote branch name> .
If you have a single remote repository, then you can omit all arguments. just need to run git fetch , which will retrieve all branches and updates, and after that, run git checkout <branch> which will create a local copy of the branch because all branches are already loaded in your system.
There is an option to pass branch name in Jenkins Git Plugin/ Git Parameter Plugin.
This accepts build parameters. So you could add parameter to the job, say with BRANCH_NAME and pass it to git plugin. Options are Just above the "Repository Browser" setting
Here is with build parameter
