And replace the other two git checkout on this page with git switch?
And also on getting-started/pull-request-lifecycle.rst and index.rst?

I wanted to pull a PR branch and I was looking up "Checking out others' PRs", and the options were either to install
gh,hub, or creating a Git alias.Since I wanted a less permanent solution, I created this PR to show the commands individually before suggesting adding them as an alias. In addition I replaced
checkoutwith the more modernswitch, and capitalized "Git".Another possible solution is to add the contributor's repo as a remote and fetch their branch from there, but I didn't want to add yet another solution. If people want to add it, we can create another PR.
