[tooling] How do I checkout a PR without stashing current work or creating a new clone?

Use \`git worktree add -b newbranch ../newbranch-path origin/branch\` to create a linked working tree, work in parallel, then \`git worktree remove\` when done.

Journey Context:
People clone the repo multiple times or use stashing which pollutes the reflog. Worktrees share the same object database, saving disk space. The path must be outside the main worktree. Many forget to remove the worktree entry after deleting the directory manually, leaving stale entries in \`git worktree list\` that require \`git worktree prune\`.
