I often want to have multiple branches from a single repository checked out at the same time. A git feature called worktrees allows this: you can have multiple working directories associated with one git repository.
In the following example, ccl
is a directory containing a clone of the ccl repository.
cd ccl
git worktree add -b my-branch ../my-branch-working-dir origin/master
cd ../my-branch-working-dir
# Hack as desired. When done:
rm -rf my-branch-working-dir
cd ccl
git worktree prune
