Was the "Checkout Pull Request" removed?

Wasn't there a "Checkout pull request" option before? Like b n or something? :)

Or did I dream this? If not, how do I do it now?

You've gotta lay off the mushrooms, my dude :)

Alright, in all seriousness, no, there has never been a "checkout pull request", but also... that doesn't really make sense. A pull request is just a branch - or, more specifically, it's a request to a remote repository to pull changes from your branch, merging them into the remote branch.

If what you're trying to do is checkout a branch from a remote, then you can do that via local branch - just select a remote branch like origin/my-cool-feature, and it'll create a local branch tracking that as it's upstream.

Hah, no mushrooms here, I'm probably just misremembering. This feature is in Magit (or forge more specifically) which I use in Emacs so probably why I'm confused.

Checkout > pull-request

Ah, ok! I haven't checked out the stuff forge adds - still working on stock magit features. It looks cool, I'm definitely open to it.
