NOTE:

GitHub now uses main as the default branch name instead of master.
Some people may not have latest version of git (>= 2.24). Major changes: switch replaces checkout for switching branches, restore replaces checkout for putting files back in previous state. Should note this at least in the instructor notes (_extras/guide.md).
