-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' while git checkout

I Accidentally created a git branch, which contain '()' in branch name. I didn't get any error while creating the branch. But when i tried to git checkout to the branch from master, i got the following error.

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

I tried renaming the branch with git branch -m and git branch -m -f but both commands returned the same error as given above.

How can i solve this situation ? Is there any method to get the changes i made in that branch??

Thanks in advance

Try git checkout "branchname"

example If branchname is abcd()

git checkout "abcd()"
