Subject: [PATCH] fix: Checkout branch in ExaTrk CI (#3967)

Currently, the ExaTrk CI is trying to run a dependency script before having properly checked out the right branch, possible causing a CI error. This commit ensures that the target branch is properly checked out before trying to use any files in the repository.
