`git worktree` is fun and easy, and has some nice uses with #DDEV. Here's the recording of my Florida Drupal Camp session on some of the options. You can run the same project in multiple directories for different features or for different AI agents to play in. www.fldrupal.camp/session/use-...
Andrew Berry shows how WarpBuild Snapshots speed up DDEV in CI.

We love to hear people's experiences and follow them up, and thousands of people every week use mutagen without (reported) trouble. Your approach is fine, and glad you're happy! Orbstack is wonderful. If anybody does have trouble, let us know!
