huh. Playing around with git worktree for the first time.

If you use git stash heavily (which I don't recommend), this is much better. (I've had a "if you're using stash for more than 10 minutes, you're doing it wrong" policy for years.)

And it's less disk space than my "git clone 3+ times" strategy I've been using. If your repo is big.

But other than that... no difference? If there are additional benefits to worktree I haven't discovered them yet?

@deafferret Isn't that enough?
But being able to use any diff tool to see the difference between two (or even three) branches is also quite nice.

@confuseacat since I'm using VSCode on top of my CLI git operations, I assume I should learn something clever in the VSCode layer too. Folder > Open Folder to switch every time seems... silly?
