Check out a pull request

## Synopsis

```text
Check out the head of a pull request in a local branch that tracks the head branch, so
that git push updates it and pr commands without an argument select the pull request.
```

```
gt pr checkout {<number> | <url> | <branch>} [flags]
```

## Examples

```
$ gt pr checkout 13
$ gt pr co feature/login
$ gt pr checkout 13 --update
```

## Options

```
  -b, --branch string   Local branch name (default: the head branch name when free, else OWNER/BRANCH or pr/NUMBER)
      --detach          Check out the PR commit without creating or changing a branch
  -h, --help            help for checkout
      --update          Fast-forward an existing branch to the PR head; reject divergence
```
