Nice post!

UPD. Just checked which one is suggested by Git docs, and git switch still (4 year later) has THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE. note. So, looks like, these changes shouldn't be applied, but I leave them and this comment just for your information.

---

Added couple of suggested edits related to "new" git command switch instead of catch-all checkout.
As post is oriented to novices it might be good opportunity to show new commands which are more explicit about their intent switch/restore (not mentioned in post).
On the other hand - internet will have more posts and SO answers that contain checkout, not only novices would read it and might be confusing for them, and, most importantly, this is your familiar flow so it makes sense to show what you are sure works.

Therefore, I don't expect that this changes would be added.

hahahaha thanks, nice catch. I'm at the LibertyJS conference right now and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-FbVT4ddZQ keeps coming to mind. Amusing. Thanks for the catch.

THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.

Blurgh, that's frustrating. I do like the changes. But yeah I'l hold off using/teaching them until they're not experimental. 😞

Thanks though!!
