+Checking out a pull request branch with git
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Alternatively, you can checkout the pull request directly with git:
+
+- Open the pull request page. Note the pull request *number* (``PR_NUMBER``), and the *branch name*
+  (``BRANCH_NAME``), but without the user name.
+
+.. image:: img/testing_pull_requests_command_line_checkout.webp
+
+- Construct the command using this pattern:
+
+::
+
+    $ git fetch upstream pull/PR_NUMBER/head:BRANCH_NAME
+
+So for the pull request above, the actual command will be:
+
+::
+
+    # Fetch PR branch locally
+    $ git fetch upstream pull/48734/head:editor_file_dialog_filter_sort
+
+- Once the pull request finishes downloading, checkout its branch:
+
+::
+
+    $ git checkout editor_file_dialog_filter_sort
+
+- And follow the :ref:`compiling <toc-devel-compiling>` instructions for your operating system.
