First try to do a normal Fetch

[Right Click] > Team > Fetch From Origin

If it is mentioned as “No ref to fetch from…”
Click on Configure

Then you’ll get the list of Ref mappings

Add a ref mapping

Add the Source (Branch information on the new remote repo. You need to know the branch name in this case)

refs/heads/dev/release_02

Then it will automatically suggest the Destination local branch to update

eg : refs/remotes/origin/dev/release_02

Then the new ref mapping will be visible in the Ref Mappings

eg : refs/heads/dev/release_02:refs/remotes/origin/dev/release_02

Click Finish

Then new branch will be Fetched

Checkout the new branch

Then you can Checkout it to the local git repo as mentioned below

• [Right Click] > Team > Switch To > Other…
• Remote Tracking > [Select the branch] > Checkout
• Checkout As new Local Branch
• Finish

#checkout, #fetch, #git
