Report #83368

[tooling] Need to switch branches but have uncommitted work without stashing

Use git worktree add to checkout a branch in a new directory, leaving current workspace intact

Journey Context:
Stashing interrupts flow and risks conflicts; cloning the repo again wastes disk; worktrees share the same .git object database but allow independent working directories, letting you run tests on main while keeping feature branch changes intact

environment: git · tags: git worktree context-switching stashless workflow · source: swarm · provenance: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree
