Once you have this downloaded you can easily switch to either of the other Day Planner development branches available in the git repository using the following command while in any directory in the repository:

git checkout -b origin/[branch] [branch]

where [branch] is the name of the branch that you want to check out (repeated twice). You can then git checkout [branch] to switch between the various branches (listed in git branch). Ie. if you would want the branch, you could do: git checkout -b origin/, and then you can git checkout master to go back to the development branch, or git checkout to go to the branch.
