Bits of .NET

git checkout does too many things (switch branches, restore files, create branches). Git 2.23+ splits it into clear commands.

Old Confusing Way:

# Switch branch
git checkout main

# Create and switch to new branch
git checkout -b feature

# Restore file
git checkout -- file.txt

# All same command! Confusing!

New Clear Commands:

# Switch branch
git switch main

# Create and switch to new branch
git switch -c feature

# Restore file
git restore file.txt

# Separate commands for separate purposes!

Additional Restore Options:

# Unstage file (keep changes)
git restore --staged file.txt

# Restore file from specific commit
git restore --source=HEAD~2 file.txt

# Restore all files
git restore .

Clearer intent, less confusion!
