Checking out the branch via git is a single command that's neither longer nor more complicated than the "gh cli" version.

For years, it's been the default command in a single-click "copy" field under the "code" dropdown in a PR, not because git is complicated and anyone needs to "look up" the command, but because that's a fast and efficient way to grab a branch.

Replacing the `git` single-liner with a `gh` single-liner does nothing for the user but make them dependent on the `gh` tool.
