If you want to run some time-consuming tests prior to pushing your bug fix it's convenient to run those in your separate worktree. You can continue working on your original branch while the tests run.

The article starts out by talking about the built in git worktree command which will do this for you, and is built into git already.[1]

The question is, if that exists why are the virtual trees meaningfully different?
