To prioritize a branch over a tag when using Git checkout, you can specify the full ref path to the branch. For example, if the branch name is "main" and the tag name is "v1.0.0", you can run:

git checkout refs/heads/main

This will switch to the "main" branch, even if there is a tag with the same name. Alternatively, you can use the shorthand for the branch:

git checkout main

This will also switch to the "main" branch, but if there is a tag with the same name, Git will prioritize the tag.
