Just run `pnpm install` after switching the branch. Or add `pnpm install` into the build step. And many build tools will do that automatically. If the deps are in sync with the manifest, that takes typically less than a second.

This is a problem I've never encountered in practice. And it's not like you don't have to update the dependencies in Python if they are different per-branch.

The thing is you don't need to do this in "normal" system where dependencies are stored in local cache and build tool is using them during the tasks.

If JS had a proper build tool then creating such directory inside project would not be needed. Instead in JS world you have only dependency downloader with some crude script runner.
