Report #7789

[tooling] Switching branches constantly or stashing work to check another branch in the same repository

Use git worktree add ../repo-feature feature-branch to create a parallel working tree for the branch; edit both branches simultaneously without switching contexts or stashing

Journey Context:
Developers often clone the repository multiple times to work on parallel branches, wasting disk space and risking divergence, or they stash/pop repeatedly which pollutes the reflog and risks losing work. Worktrees share the same object database \(saving space\) but provide independent working directories, allowing you to run tests or builds on one branch while editing another. Unlike submodules or separate clones, changes are immediately visible across worktrees because the Git metadata is shared.
