jackin checkout pr
Switch the working repo onto a PR's branch via gh pr checkout . Accepts a number, URL, or branch name.
Process
1. Resolve to a PR number. Number or URL → pass to gh pr checkout directly. Branch name → gh pr list head <branch state all json number q '.[0].number' ; no match → STOP, do not fall back to raw git checkout .
2. Guard the working tree. git status porcelain — if dirty, STOP and ask the operator to commit, stash, or discard first. Never auto stash. Note git branch show current (the way back).
3. Check the PR is open. gh pr view <N json state,headRefName . MERGED or CLOSED → warn (the branch may be stale) and confirm before proceeding.
4. Switch. gh pr checkout <N . Verify git branch show current matches headRefName .
5. Report. Switched from <old to <headRefName (PR N). Way back: git switch <old .
