How do I verify if git checkout is enabled on my Stack?

Context

When enabling git checkout functionality on a Stack using the `feature:enable_git_checkout` label, users may want to verify that the feature is working correctly after implementation.

Answer

There are two simple ways to verify that git checkout is properly enabled on your Stack:

  1. Check for the presence of a `.git` folder in the root of your repository

  2. Run a `git status` command in your Stack

    • If git checkout is enabled, this command will execute successfully

    • If using the tarball download method (git checkout not enabled), this command will fail

If both checks pass, git checkout is successfully enabled on your Stack.
