I want to checkout and test a development branch from this project:
https://github.com/springdoc/springdoc-openapi/pull/3007
I tried:
git checkout mschout:spring-boot-3.5-support
error: pathspec 'mschout:spring-boot-3.5-support' did not match any file(s) known to git
Can you guide me how I can properly checkout this branch?
mschout:spring-boot-3.5-support is a branch in the forked repository. You can use gh, an official GitHub CLI to
switch to this branch:

If you don't want to install gh you can also add a new remote that
points to the forked repository and checkout a branch from it:
$ git remote add fork https://github.com/mschout/springdoc-openapi
$ git fetch fork
