by default it looks in origin, so when you give origin/branchname, it looks for origin/origin/branchname to tell that first one is remote name you use -b, if u don't it creates a anonymous branch which is detached. Similarly for checking out from a different remote you would have to mention -b parameter otherwise git doesn't have a way to know it is from a new remote, it will look for origin/remote/branchname.

I saw in this other answer that git checkout -b Feature/f1234 <=> git branch Feature/f1234 and git checkout Feature/f1234.
