I'm trying to read up on the differences, but is git switch basically just a newer version of git checkout for changing branches? I haven't had any issues with git checkout before so I'm not sure why it would be an issue.

Checkout did too many things that weren't really related. Hence it was split up in different commands. One of them being switch. 😁

Edit: better explanation here https://github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-23/#experimental-alternatives-for-git-checkout
