+### Create a Dev Environment from a specific branch or tag
+
+You can create a dev environment from a specific branch (for example, a branch corresponding to a Pull Request) or a tag by adding `@mybranch` or `@tag` as a suffix to your Git URL:
+
+ `https://github.com/dockersamples/single-dev-env@mybranch`
+
+ or
+
+ `git@github.com:dockersamples/single-dev-env.git@mybranch`
+
+Docker then clones the repository with your specified branch or tag.
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> Known issue: when cloning a Git branch using `https://`, you must remove the `.git` suffix at the end of the URL.
