In Linux shell, the '#' character indicates the start of a comment, so to
git your command came through as just 'git checkout' and it did nothing.
Try putting quotes around the branch name to keep the shell from seeing it
as a comment:

$ git checkout '#1563'
Branch '#1563' set up to track remote branch '#1563' from 'origin'.
Switched to a new branch '#1563'
