Title: Today I went to check out a colleague&#x27;s branch, and noticed the standard `git` one-liner has been replaced with a `gh` one-liner: `gh pr checkout 1234`. Underneath, there&#x27;s some subtle advertising: &quot;Work fast with our official CLI. _Learn more._&quot;<p>This is of course useless to me, and to any other developer who prefers to use standard tooling rather than proprietary lock-in stuff.<p>I don&#x27;t begrudge Microsoft shipping a GH CLI as an optional thing, but shifting workflows away from the standard client is one of those changes that doesn&#x27;t serve users, but rather serves some PM&#x27;s KPIs.<p>EDIT: based on the &quot;not on my machine&quot; responses here, it&#x27;s clear that I&#x27;m on some branch of an A&#x2F;B test. These are the only three options now presented in my GH web UI - all the rest have disappeared (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;P7llsVo):<p>1. Checkout with the GitHub CLI<p>2. Checkout with GitHub Desktop<p>3. An ad for buying Codespaces for this public repo
