  • Summary: The author argues that the git checkout command is confusing and overloaded with functions, making it difficult for beginners to understand. They suggest that instead of teaching new developers to use git checkout, we should encourage the use of the simpler commands git switch and git restore. This communal shift could help prevent the confusion and mistakes that often arise from using git checkout.
