FYI, you can use git worktrees [1] to work on multiple branches simultaneously

Yeah, I know and love that feature for software projects, especially if I need to switch over to a bugfix while I'm deep in a topic branch.

But for a data project it would be a big pain to have separate worktrees just to work around what IMO is a usage anti-pattern to begin with!
