[tooling] Need to switch branches but have uncommitted work

Use \`git worktree add -b \` to create a linked working tree; work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing or cloning multiple repos.

Journey Context:
Developers often stash or commit WIP to switch branches, losing context. Worktrees allow parallel branches in separate directories sharing the same object database. Unlike cloning the repo again \(which wastes space and can drift\), worktrees are lightweight and automatically synced. The \`-b\` flag creates the branch automatically. Remember to remove worktrees with \`git worktree remove\` to clean up.
