this is basically what worktrees do, though? except git 'knows' about all the associated branches, so you don't have to deal with pushing/pulling in order to merge xyz branch, etc.

The main issue with worktrees is that you can't have the same branch opened in multiple worktrees which makes many things harder than the ought to be. I don't really understand why we need that limitation, otherwise the tooling is good enough.
