You need to fetch something before being able to checkout it locally.

Since there is no native command to do both in one operation, you would need an alias, as mentioned in "fetch and checkout a remote git branch in just one command"

[alias]
  fetch-checkout = !sh -c 'git fetch $1 $2 && git checkout $2' -

Used as:

git fetch-checkout feature/myticket-id

how do I set it to my alias? – Yunyi Chang Jun 25 '18 at 05:57
Tried `git config --global alias.fetch-checkout = !sh -c 'git fetch $1 $2 && git checkout $2' -` I got error of `-bash: !sh: event not found` – Yunyi Chang Jun 25 '18 at 05:57

You can simply copy it in the editor opened with `git config --edit` – VonC Jun 25 '18 at 05:59
