Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

content/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/reviewing-changes-in-pull-requests/checking-out-pull-requests-locally.md

What changes are you suggesting?

I propose adding a section explaining that a new branch is created when running git fetch origin pull/ID/head:BRANCH_NAME .

This was not clear from the previous explanation to me.
