github:pull-request:checkout
Check out a specific pull request locally.
$ gh pr checkout ${pr_number}
try on your machine
This command is using the GitHub CLI tool (gh) to checkout a pull request (PR) with a specific number (${pr_number}) in the current repository.
This means that the changes made in that pull request will be applied to your local repository and you will be able to review them and test them locally before merging them into your main branch.
The command is abbreviated and uses brackets ({}) to indicate a variable input for the pull request number. You would replace ${pr_number} with the actual number of the pull request you want to checkout.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
