GitHub Desktop cloned the wrong branch

At Github branche DEV, if in Code I select 'Open with Github Desktop', it does not clone the DEV branch but the Master branch If I go to Github Desktop and I Clone (Internet) via the DEV URL, it does not find it

Solution:

I usually git checkout dev which works as long as the branch exists on the remote

You don't need to use github desktop. Go to the github repos, select the branch (on the left side). Press "<> Code" on the right side and press "Download ZIP"

Yes that's what I finally had to do but in 'satisfactory-modding Documentation' it is advised to use GitHub Desktop I finished all this tutorial and made my first mod with the .zip Then I wanted to use the github desktop

Or download git for windows. Open cmd.exe, call

git clone  https://github.com/satisfactorymodding/SatisfactoryModLoader.git
cd SatisfactoryModLoader
git branch -v -a
git checkout dev

git clone  https://github.com/satisfactorymodding/SatisfactoryModLoader.git
cd SatisfactoryModLoader
git branch -v -a
git checkout dev

(Also, would be nice to correct the capitalisation of GithuB in the post's title to GitHub.)
