I tried to fetch my colleague repository with the below comments

  1. git remote add jon-repo https://gitlab.XXXX/xx.git

  2. git checkout jon-repo/20.5.1_CJ

I am getting error of error : pathspec 'jon-repo/20.5.1_C' did not match any files known to git

I can access his repo via GitLab portal and 20.5.1_CJ is one branch.

I usually fork and do, But here I was told no need to fork and just give the above comments

    The title of this question should be something along the lines of "`git checkout` fails when I forget to run `git fetch` first", although that's almost its own answer. The question you *meant* to ask, I think, is "why is my `git fetch` failing" but that is a duplicate of existing questions. – torek May 27 '21 at 06:58

    But that's not Git's fault and is a totally different question. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3778042/github-error-cloning-my-private-repository. My answer is correct for the question you asked. – matt May 27 '21 at 06:27
