Checking out a PR's commits locally

If you want to checkout the patches for a PR (or more specifically for a commit of a PR) you fetch the developer's working repo branch, something like this:

$ git fetch https://github.com/jukkar/zephyr zep-2308-net-api-doc-missing
$ git checkout -b zep-2308-net-api-doc-missing FETCH_HEAD

And when done, and you want to put things back the way they were use:

$ git checkout -f master

or if all else fails:

$ git reset --hard origin/master
