Not aware of a built in way, but if you use bash or similar as your shell you can do an alias like

  git config --global alias.chpull '!f() { git checkout "$1" && git pull; }; f'

Didn't think about alias for this even though I have alias for many other things, that should prevent `direnv` from triggering between checkout and pull. Thanks.
