Report #25335

[tooling] Need to switch branches but have uncommitted changes or long-running build

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 changes or clone the repo twice to work on parallel features. Worktrees allow multiple branches checked out in separate directories sharing the same object database. This saves disk space vs full clones and prevents 'stash pop' conflicts. The \`-b\` flag creates the branch automatically. Remember to prune with \`git worktree prune\` if directories are deleted manually.
