Checkout, while a noun of referring to git/code is acceptable even if used as a verb due to the reference to a known act. Checkout in a phrase like “checkout this really cool x” is a verb, and should be check out, however in relation to a git repository or code base, I think 'checkout' is the right use of the word.
This is kinda like the word "hoover", while a noun, it's also a verb depending on it's use. I could be wrong of course, but I need examples of where this is an issue in your eyes 👍
