You only can clone a whole repository except a branch, the code is:

git clone -b mybranch --single-branch git://sub.domain.com/repo.git

If you already have the repository cloned, you can refresh the branch you want, if you have forked the project you can refresh the specific branch you want. the code is:

git checkout 'branch if you want to change to refresh it'
git pull <URL of REPOSITORY> 'branch that you want to refresh it'
git commit -m "message"
git push upstream 'branch that you want to refresh it'
