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. :)

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'm not sure if I understand your question, but switching to the mentioned branch can be done with the following code: git checkout feature/ABF-3-project-structure.
