`git-checkout-pr` giving wrong code

See original GitHub issue

Description

The code given on the Checkout with Git http and ssh boxes is incorrect. The third line should read git switch --track upstream/zb140/refactor-compose-files. Upstream instead of the repo owners name because in line one we added upstream as the name of the remote. (Or line one should be changed to be the repo owners name instead of upstream)

git remote add upstream git@github.com:games-on-whales/gow.git
git fetch upstream zb140/refactor-compose-files
git switch --track games-on-whales/zb140/refactor-compose-files

@Sparticuz if I am not mistaken there is reason we wrote it like this. Since if upstream exists the first line will error so we need to write it again on the second line.

Unless I am not understanding your issue. Please post a url as stated in the issue template.

Upstream is used when you are not the owner or collaborator on the repo.

Basically, the commands given, are creating one remote, then trying to pull from a different remote
