Answer 1

我不确定我是否理解您的问题，但是可以使用以下代码来切换到上述分支： git checkout feature/ABF-3-project-structure 。

Answer 2

Try this:

git pull {repo} {remotebranchname}:{localbranchname}

git pull origin abc:abc

In case when you are on the master branch you also should first checkout a branch:

 git checkout -b abc 

this should create new branch "abc" from the master and directly check it out. than you should run:

 git pull origin abc 

to pull the new branch to your local abc branch

I have solved this problem by adding ssh key to github. I previously working on git with out setting ssh key on github.

It's very simple. I just added the ssh key and run the previous commands. That solves my problem. :)
