“Cannot update paths and switch to branch at the same time”

by

‘origin/master‘ which can not be resolved as commit

Strange: you need to check your remotes:

git remote -v

And make sure origin is fetched:

git fetch origin

Then:

git branch -avv

(to see if you do have fetched an origin/master branch)

Finally, use git switch instead of the confusing git checkout, with Git 2.23+ (August 2019).

git switch -c test --track origin/master
