Report #81881

[tooling] Need to work on multiple branches simultaneously without cloning the repository multiple times

Use \`git worktree add \` to create additional working directories linked to the same repository

Journey Context:
Developers often clone the repo multiple times or use \`git stash\` \+ checkout to switch context, wasting disk space and losing mental context. Worktrees share the same object database but allow independent checkouts. This is superior to cloning because updates to one worktree are immediately available in others \(no fetch needed\), and it avoids the 'stash stack' mess. Caveat: cannot check out the same branch in multiple worktrees.
